Bluesky creators struggle to measure post engagement
Bluesky creators and independent publishers want to compare post performance and understand whether their posts are reaching people. They describe engagement data as difficult to collect in a machine-readable format, and some say they compile numbers manually. Requests about feed controls and image discovery are separate; the strongest shared need here is post analytics and activity monitoring.
For bluesky creators and independent social-media publishers. Mentioned from Jul 2023 to Jul 2026 on Bluesky, GitHub, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

#atproto dev question: is there a tool somewhere for tracking Bluesky like and repost numbers in a machine-readable format? Say I wanted to produce a spreadsheet of my posts this month, sorted by likes and reposts — how would I do that?
By far the most tedious part of this (which has actually been in progress for over a year at this point I just decided to get my ass in gear and finish it now because it fits one of the prompts) is coming up with engagement numbers for every single post
