tracking user engagement on a federated social network. its an interesting problem, because there isn't a central database i can ask for basic information like: login time, recent activity timestamps, or even usernames. i built a proof of concept using a bunch of huginn[1] agents, but i want to build a more robust system using a gnu/social server and a statistics bot.
the goal is to have real-time statistics for the entire federated network, tracking update volume, user activity, and user acquisition. i should also be able to determine how much time people spend on the network per day.
