Understanding your Analytics dashboard

Analytics gives you a clear picture of how your posts are performing on each connected network - what's getting reach, when your audience is most active, and how your follower count is trending over time.

Where to find it

Open Analytics from the sidebar. If you have more than one connected account, use the account picker at the top of the page to switch between them - the numbers you see always belong to the account that's currently selected.

What's on the dashboard

  • Key numbers at a glance - reach, engagement rate and other core stats for the period you choose, each with an up or down arrow so you can see how it changed compared to the previous period. On Instagram they sit together in one summary strip - total reach, engagement, engagement rate (highlighted), followers, accounts engaged and link taps. A metric that has no comparison with the previous period shows only its number, without an arrow.
  • Trend chart - how your reach and engagement rate have moved day by day over the selected time range (7, 30 or 90 days).
  • Best times to post - a 7×24 grid showing when your posts have historically performed best. Click any cell to add it straight to your posting schedule as a recommended time slot - no need to leave the page. Hover over a cell that has posts to see how many posts it covers and the average number of views, reach, likes, comments and so on per post - only the numbers your network actually reports are shown, and a number that isn't available is left out rather than shown as zero. On Instagram and Threads the grid uses your workspace's timezone, so the hours match the times you see when scheduling.
  • Top posts - your best-performing posts for the period, sortable by likes, comments, reach and more. Click a column header to change the sort order.
  • Follower growth - how your follower count has changed over time.
  • Stories - a breakdown of how your recent Stories performed, including reach, replies and how people navigated through them (tapped forward/back, swiped away, and so on).
  • Export to CSV - use the Export button to download your trend, follower-growth and top-posts data as a spreadsheet.

Switching between networks

If you have more than one type of account connected, use the network switcher above the dashboard to jump between Instagram, Threads, Facebook, TikTok and Telegram analytics. Each network shows what that platform actually reports:

  • Threads doesn't have a Stories section, since Threads doesn't expose that data. It does show a Best time to post heatmap as soon as the selected period has a single published post, with a note such as "Based on 1 post, updates as you publish more" - it recalculates as you publish more. With no posts in the period, the panel asks you to publish your first post. Times are shown in your workspace's timezone, and the heatmap follows the period you pick (7, 30 or 90 days). It also shows Shares and Link clicks next to reposts and quotes, and a Follower demographics panel. Meta only provides demographics once an account has 100 or more followers - below that the panel tells you how many followers you still need. Above it you'll see your top countries, cities, age groups and gender split. If Meta doesn't return the breakdown at a given moment, the panel says so and the rest of the dashboard keeps working. A dash (-) on Shares or Link clicks means Meta didn't supply that number - it doesn't mean zero.
  • Facebook shows fewer key numbers than Instagram - Meta stopped reporting reach and engagement rate for Facebook Pages in mid-2026, so those cards don't appear on the Facebook dashboard. It does show a Best time to post heatmap (in your workspace's timezone) as soon as the selected period has one published post, with a "Based on N posts" note that updates as you publish more. With no posts in the period, the panel asks you to publish your first post.
  • TikTok shows views, likes, comments and shares - a smaller set of numbers than the other networks, since TikTok doesn't currently share reach, engagement rate, follower growth or a best-times heatmap through its public API. You'll still see your trend chart and top posts (each with the video's length and a link to open it on TikTok), and can export the same TikTok numbers to CSV.
  • Telegram shows what Telegram's Bot API makes available: your channel's Members count and Total reactions, plus a list of your published posts with the reactions each one received. Every row shows a thumbnail, the post's title, its date and a bar sized against your top post, so you can spot the favourites at a glance. Click Reactions or Date to sort (click again to reverse the order), pick 7, 30 or 90 days to focus on a period, and click a post to open it. A dash (-) means Telegram hasn't reported that number yet - it doesn't mean zero. Telegram doesn't share reach, views or follower trends, so those aren't shown - that's a Telegram platform limitation, not something Flomixy is missing.

Open a top post's details

In the Top posts table, the caption of a post that was published through Flomixy is a link. Click it to open that post's detail page, right at its performance. Posts that were published outside Flomixy, or older posts that Flomixy can't match yet, show plain text instead.

Not seeing much data yet?

Recommendations (like best times to post) get more accurate the more you post. If your account is new or you haven't posted much yet, you'll see general starting recommendations instead of ones based on your own history - these are replaced automatically as you publish more posts.
