If you’re an SMM tool developer, please include/add alt text for video posts. Not only is it good form for accessibility but, at least on Bluesky, it can also play a part in discoverability for search and refinement with Regex for feed building.

The tools above are Bluesky specific account engagement information and not SMM tools. I’m including them because some of them may be more useful specifically for Bluesky.

Keep in mind that there are going to be some limitations (ex: views) because of what’s available as part of the Bluesky API currently.

Also what you can get from each of these is going to be more drastically different than the basics of publishing posts so I’m trying to link to screenshots (keep in mind this is a quickly changing landscape so things may look different on the date that you look vs the date I posted screenshots.)

• socialchamp.io has likes , shares, comments per post. Sort by top posts. Follower growth. See screenshot.
• Socialbu.com has some follower growth info and top posts info. As well as proportion info about posts that are test, image, or video. See screenshots.
• Postpone.app followers, likes, replies, top posts. Reposts & quote posts also exist in the charts but they don’t seem accurate at the moment for this account. Screen shot.
  

Lists that they have analytics but I haven’t tested yet:

• Publer.io yes but I would have to upgrade to test – list here https://help.publer.io/en/article/what-metricsanalytics-are-gathered-for-each-social-network-1ibwz3q/
• VistaSocial shows likes, comments and shares in their image here: https://vistasocial.com/integrations/bluesky/

SOON:

• Fedica
  

Vote it up:

When a link was posted, does it look like a quote post or just a link?
This is actually an embed since it won’t show as a quote post to the original person posting.

My SocialBee trial ran out & I have to decide if I want to pay to test more.

Most business SMM tools are capable of scheduled posts. Queues are less about choosing a time and just instead queuing things up. Your options for queuing can vary greatly by tool so while one may do hourly another may do times you’ve selected each day OR try and optimize based on other data.

• Fedica.com is a little different from the rest when it comes to Queue and reposting options. Screen shot link. PowerSchedule is your Queue equivalent. “Pipeline” is easier to share their video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YytpAdQOf0
• Buffer.com Has Queue as well as share next in case you want the post you are working on currently to go to the top of the Queue Screen shot link
• Publer.io this one has AutoSchedule (Queue), Recycle (ReQueue) & Recurring Screen shot link I believe Recurring is a paid feature
• CoSchedule.com queue capable Screen shot link re-queue capable Screen shot link but not on free plan (so I haven’t tested) I think these will have to originate from this tool to be reposted though
• VistaSocial.com queue capable Screen shot link
• SocialChamp.io queue capable, I do not see a repost existing option Screen shot of options
• Socialoomph.com queue capable but not on their free plan (so I haven’t tested)
• Radaar.io is a paid tool that does also does Queueing but honestly having trouble describing and taking screen shots of the complexities of it’s options at the moment so I’ll come back to it. Might have to screen record or find a video.

• As of Nov 8 2024: Native in the Bluesky App & Desktop versions
• Fedica.com
• Buffer.com
• Individual focused: @threaditor.net
• Bluesky only: Deck.blue (premium? My memory on this is fuzzy at the moment.) Skeets (also a pro feature for more than one split I think.)
• Have not tested or re-tested the rest yet
