FediSuite 1.6.3Your Fediverse Management PlatformFediSuite 1.6.3 is out. At its center is reach for public Fediverse posts. Likes, boosts, and replies show reactions, but not how many accounts likely saw a post. That’s why FediSuite now calculates an estimated gross and net reach based on the FediWings model.
Gross reach counts possible visibility through the author and boosters. Net reach subtracts out double counting. If the same account boosts several parts of a thread, it doesn’t get counted multiple times in the total. FediSuite treats threads as one connected post instead of artificially inflating each segment. These are the details that turn a nice-looking number into a useful one.
The calculation runs in the background for new and already imported posts. Older posts get their turn too, gradually. In the overview, the dashboard, and the top posts list, you can sort by net or gross reach. A badge links directly to the methodology page. It explains how the formula works, what it’s based on, and where its limits are. Reach is an estimate, not an oracle. That’s exactly why the explanation belongs right next to the number, not in some blog post nobody finds.
It’s worth reconnecting your own Fediverse accounts in FediSuite, so that every post actually gets imported at full length. Then it takes a bit of patience: gross and net reach are only calculated after the historical import finishes, and then in small intervals. It can take an hour or two before all the reach numbers are available.
Along the way, 1.6.3 cleans up quite a bit: the time axes on the growth charts finally stick to the selected period, import progress shows its actual phase, and post rows can now be expanded. When fetching reach data, FediSuite now caps concurrent requests per instance at six. A full queue now drains much faster, without flooding small remote instances with requests.
There were also, of course, plenty of smaller changes and fixes under the hood:
Proper UI scaling from 720p to 4K.Historical data import now shows a coloured progress bar.There’s a new “Credits” page, linked in the footer.There’s a new “Methodology” page, linked as a badge on every reach calculation.Follower charts fixed.And much more
