I mod a few communities here and I was wondering if there were any kind of analytical tools available to track engagement, post frequency, comment frequency, trends, etc.

I scrolled through the last year's worth of posts here and I didn't find anything along those lines. A search engine did not provide anything but maybe I'm using the wrong terms.

I do not know of any. But you could make one for whatever reason.

Depending on how you want to do it and for how long, you can choose between a bot, hosting your own instance and analyzing the database and a simple ActivityPub software that is specifically designed to track ActivityPub Group activities.

I have a lot on my plate already. An existing option with a learning curve would be way better than rolling my own.

If I read things correctly activitypub is more for new information. I'm looking for historical data like the last three years of a community's activity.
