As someone who loves diving into social media data, I knew there had to be a better way. Graphtracks is here to solve that problem, offering powerful performance tracking for decentralized social media. With Graphtracks, you can monitor likes, follows, reposts, and replies, along with a simple metric we call "Total Engagement"—the sum of all four.
