Biggest opportunity: Swap “auto” and “networks” for “auto poster” and “poster”. “auto” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto poster” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “networks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “poster” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →10%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 5.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| auto poster | #10 | #11 | up 1 |
| bluesky your tag | #23 | #22 | down 3 |
| poster | #22 | #18 | down 3 |
| auto content poster | #11 | #14 | up 1 |
| auto your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| networks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| share your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| social your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “auto” and “networks” for “auto poster” and “poster”. “auto” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto poster” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “networks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “poster” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I’ve tested this today with a new blog post on my WP site about this plugin, after setting my WP site with this plugin. Worked like a charm, after I found out I have to use my new domain verified bsky handle as the username in the plugin settings. Didn’t read the instructions carefully enough. My compliments to the dev.

Dropped this in yesterday, first post fired off this morning and this plugin worked like a charm. I was already using featured images, and the Yoast-inspired meta description appeared below the image. I was a bit curious about what content would be pulled over. I’d love to see categories or tags pulled across as hashtags/feed terms but that would be icing on the cake. Thanks for pulling this together.
