I mod a few communities here and I was wondering if there were any kind of analytical tools available to track engagement, post frequency, comment frequency, trends, etc.

I scrolled through the last year's worth of posts here and I didn't find anything along those lines. A search engine did not provide anything but maybe I'm using the wrong terms.

Thank you for your efforts. And prompt reply.

It would be nice if there was an API you could click into that was able to handle the flow without being abusive.

It would be nice if you could break out posts versus comments in that chart. And if it had enumeration available on the y-axis so we knew how many were actually being represented.

As a stretch goal, it would be nice if it told us how many of the posts were made by moderators versus members versus random interactions.

I would also love to have a better API. I have even been thinking about hosting my own lemmy instance to get more info. But that’s unfortunately to much data for my little hetzner VPS.

It is already split, with the green line being posts and blue comments. If you click on a point on phone or hover on a PC/laptop you should see data about the amount of posts and comments. I can see if I can make it more clear.

Mmm… good one, would mean I would need to fetch some more data. Will look into that!
