Measuring Skypoints

Skypoints are at the core of what makes Skyflow different from basic analytics tools. They provide a complete picture of social engagement that captures all the important details of how people interact on Bluesky.

With each Flow that you create, Skyflow measures how your network interacts with content. This gives you clear insights to make better decisions about your Bluesky strategy. As you collect more Flows over time, you can track changes in engagement and influence, spot trends, test different approaches, and find what works best for your presence on Bluesky.

What Makes Skypoints Valuable?

Skyflow looks at six key aspects of engagement to calculate Skypoints:

1. Likes - Patterns across different types of content to see what resonates most.
2. Replies - Meaningful conversations, not just surface-level engagement, to show real connection depth.
3. Reposts - How content spreads through networks shows your reach beyond direct followers.
4. Reach - Relationships between followers, following, and mutual connections reveals your true network position.
5. Performance - How individual posts perform compared to your overall strategy helps identify what's working.
6. Patterns - Finding when engagement happens throughout the day helps you post at the right time.

These elements combine to create a total Skypoints score, giving you a complete view that regular follower counts or basic engagement numbers can't provide.

How Kudos Uses Skypoints

Kudos helps you identify the most influential people in your network by:

1. Analyzing every Flow interaction from followed accounts to see who generates real activity.
2. Sorting users based on their Skypoints to show who has the most impact in your network.
3. Showcasing the most influential people in your network so you know who's driving conversations.
4. Displaying profile details for each standout user to help you understand who they are and why they matter.

Knowing who creates meaningful engagement in your network helps you build better connections and focus your interactions on the right people.

How Clout Uses Skypoints

Clout shows you the best-performing content in your network by:

• Counting Skypoints across posts by combining likes, replies, and reposts and reach.
• Finding the single best post from each author so one person doesn't dominate your results.
• Ordering posts by their Skypoints to show which content truly stands out.
• Displaying the highest-performing posts so you can see what's working best.

Seeing exactly what content connects most strongly helps you develop your own posting strategy and learn from what works.
