## Posts Overview

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/social-b97141fb/g7VmEe9XMeck-8PT/images/analytics-and-moderation/post-performance-scroll2.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=g7VmEe9XMeck-8PT&q=85&s=33256e4013aedad13464a77d39b4e942" alt="Post Performance impressions and reach charts with time-series data" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/analytics-and-moderation/post-performance-scroll2.png" />

The panel includes its own date range picker, allowing you to analyse performance across different time windows independently of the main feed filter.

<Note>
  Data is available from the post's creation date up to yesterday. Today's data is not yet included.
</Note>

### Performance Metrics

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Reactions" icon="heart">
    **Definition:** Number of reactions (likes, emojis) on this post.

    Displayed as a daily time-series chart. Use to identify reaction spikes that correlate with distribution events or viral moments.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Comments" icon="comments">
    **Definition:** Number of comments on this post.

    Tracks comment volume over time. A healthy post typically sees comments taper gradually after an initial burst—flat-lining immediately may indicate low engagement quality.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Impressions" icon="eye">
    **Definition:** Total times the content was viewed, including members and visitors.

    Measures raw exposure. Compare with Reach to understand whether the same users are seeing the post repeatedly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Reach" icon="users">
    **Definition:** Unique people who saw the content, including members and visitors.

    Reach represents distribution breadth. A high Impressions-to-Reach ratio indicates repeated exposure to the same audience—consider broadening distribution.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Daily Moderation Workflow" icon="clipboard-check">
    1. Start with the **Flagged Posts** tab to clear the moderation queue
    2. Switch to **All Posts** and scan for anomalies (spam bursts, engagement drops)
    3. Review **Pinned Posts** to ensure promoted content is still relevant
    4. Open **Post Performance** on key posts to validate distribution health
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Using Post Performance Effectively" icon="magnifying-glass-chart">
    * Compare Impressions vs Reach to detect audience saturation
    * Check Reactions and Comments trends to assess engagement quality
    * Adjust the date range to isolate specific campaign periods
    * Use the per-post data to inform content strategy decisions
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Content Pinning Strategy" icon="thumbtack">
    * Pin announcements, events, or high-quality community content
    * Rotate pinned posts regularly to keep feeds fresh
    * Limit pinned posts per community to avoid feed clutter
    * Monitor pinned post performance to confirm visibility impact

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom                                | Likely Cause                             | Resolution                                                    |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Posts not appearing                    | Date range too narrow                    | Expand the date range or reset to "Last 30 days"              |
| Metrics show zero                      | Post is very new                         | Data is available from creation date up to yesterday—wait 24h |
| Flagged tab empty                      | No flagged content                       | Healthy state; continue monitoring                            |
| Post Performance panel shows "No data" | Post has no engagement in selected range | Adjust the date range to cover the post's active period       |
| Search returns no results              | Keyword mismatch                         | Try broader search terms or clear filters                     |
