I’m not talking about this from a marketing or influencer perspective—I just personally enjoy seeing post metrics like number of views, especially over time (like Reddit’s 48-hour view chart).

It gives a sense of whether a post is reaching people, even if it doesn’t get many comments or upvotes.

Curious if others feel the same, or if there’s a reason this hasn’t been implemented?


EDIT: Maybe have it so that there is an option in the user’s settings to turn the Analytics on/off?

Or, perhaps have it where instance owners can decide whether or not to allow the Analytics on their instance?

    Legit question, but that’s a no for me.

    While it’s partly that it’s not really useful, and makes other features a better priority, it’s also partly because it would make people that think influencer is a valid job title plague lemmy.

    Neither of those is worth casual curiosity
