The Bluesky analytics metrics that matter are Likes, Reposts, Replies, Quotes and Saves. Read them in Bluesky’s own analytics, compare each post with the account’s own median rather than an industry average, and watch the trend month to month. SkedCast collects Bluesky post metrics beside your other channels.
Key takeaways
- Bluesky does not have an analytics dashboard, in the app or on the web. What you get instead are per-post counts, visible on the post itself to anyone who opens it.
- Likes: the count of like taps a single post has received, shown directly on the post.
- Reposts: how many accounts reposted the post as-is into their own followers’ timelines — Bluesky’s equivalent of a retweet or share.
- Bluesky does not publish impressions, reach or a follower-growth chart of its own. Every number claiming to show those — including a "view count" — comes from a third-party tool reading the public API, not from Bluesky itself, so treat it as an estimate layered on top of Bluesky’s own counts rather than a platform-reported figure.

Which Bluesky analytics metrics matter most?
| Metric | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Likes | the count of like taps a single post has received, shown directly on the post. |
| Reposts | how many accounts reposted the post as-is into their own followers’ timelines — Bluesky’s equivalent of a retweet or share. |
| Replies | the count of reply posts threaded underneath the post (Bluesky counts the author’s own replies too). |
| Quotes | posts that quote the post with their own added text, counted separately from a plain repost. |
| Saves | how many people saved the post to read later; Bluesky shows only how many, never who. |
