Bluesky Insights is a free web-based analytics platform designed specifically for the Bluesky social network. It provides detailed insights into user activity, engagement trends, and content themes without requiring account authentication. Think of it like a “Social Blade” for Bluesky: a third-party website that lets anyone plug in a publicly available Bluesky handle to see at-a-glance metrics and in-depth data visualizations.

From an open source research standpoint, seeing peak posting times can hint at a user’s likely time zone or routine and help pinpoint when they’re most responsive to events. This allows researchers to focus their monitoring efforts during the most active windows, improving real-time data collection and analysis
Profile Monitoring: Analyze public figures, organizations, or suspicious accounts for posting habits and engagement trends.

Bluesky-Only Scope: The tool is limited to analyzing Bluesky profiles; it does not support other social networks like Twitter/X or Mastodon.

Respect User Privacy: Although data is public, users may not expect deep analytics done based on their data.
Avoid Misuse: Use responsibly for legitimate open source research purposes.
