None.

Coverage — a directional proxy, not total social volume

Covers Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit and Hacker News. X/Twitter is excluded — its API is paid — so results measure a partial slice of social media. Every tool description says this, because “social volume” that silently omits the largest network invites a wrong conclusion about a trend.

A network that cannot be reached returns null for its buckets rather than 0. That distinction matters: a measured zero and an unobserved gap are different facts, and Mastodon in particular is often unreachable from Cloudflare egress.

Per-network quirks handled in-pack

  • Reddit — search.rss prepends subreddit entries (t5_ ids dated 2010) which faked a 16-year coverage floor; only t3_/t1_ ids are counted.
  • Hacker News — Algolia caps pagination at 1,000 and returns nbHits: 0 past it, so the pack keeps the maximum nbHits seen rather than the last.
  • Bluesky — burst-throttles at roughly 10 requests refilling ~1/s, so buckets are swept newest-first under a 12-request budget and any gap lands at the far edge of the window.
