   @BeAware ah that's a shame, wonder if there's any plans to incorporate some kind of metrics in official mastodon. Would be handy.

     @meatlotion not sure it's a viable option honestly. Each instance would have to record their version of the "views" and federate it, then each instance would have different numbers because of blocklists and such. This same issue is the reason that Favorites are only REALLY counted on the OG instance that the post comes from.

     @meatlotion no, that's correct, it could be something to look into, maybe suggest it officially.👍

     @BeAware I see, would it not only really matter to the instance where the post originated though? I mean, if I post something I would want to be able to see how many people saw it, but, would you want to see how many people saw my post? Did I misunderstand your point?

     @meatlotion yeah, I knew about that one and mastometrics which is similar. However, "views" are not an option on either. That's why I didn't suggest them.

     @BeAware I found https://analytodon.com which gives some metrics, but it's only showing info based on activity on each post, like how many likes, how many boosts, it shows me how many people follow me, over time, etc.

     It would be really good to see how many people actually viewed a post without necessarily interacting with it, I think Mastodon is missing a trick here.

     @BeAware gotcha, thanks for chatting about it though, it's nice that no matter what questions people throw out into the fedi, people are always willing to help or continue the chat. Everyone is so nice in here =)
