Gm,

Does anyone know of a tool, a follower tracker per day for Mastodon?
I need to show how good I am at getting Mastodon followers and don't feel like creating my own tracker... if it has historical data that would be awesome!

If it doesn't exist will build and share #opensource

Although I don’t like the idea of such a tool, you could probably implement one with a curl request to fetch profile metadata over the Mastodon C2S API, extract the follower count with jq, and tee -a it to a file. Fetching a single number over HTTPS seems like too simple a task for building an actual program when curl | jq | tee in a crontab/systemd-timer works.

It’s in the public API so you won’t even need keys.
