At Flock Social, we believe you deserve to know exactly how your account is growing (and how our system is working). That’s why we give you full visibility into every action we take and how users respond.

Let’s break it down:


🔙 Followbacks

This section shows how many users are following you back.

Each stat is tied to a specific Target, giving you insight into which ones are delivering and which need to go.

👉 If you’re seeing low numbers:

  • Check that your profile photo, bio, and grid are optimized for a strong first impression

  • Aim for at least a 10% followback rate

  • Replace Targets that fall below 5% followback rate — they’re not a great fit for your niche

📌 Reminder: Followbacks are tracked only after we unfollow the user, which happens 2–4 days after the initial follow. So if you just added a Target, give it time to populate.


📝 Interactions

This is your real-time receipt of every follow/unfollow action we’re taking on your behalf.

Here’s what you’ll see:

  • Each Follow and Unfollow

  • The Target that triggered the action

  • The timestamp for every interaction

Use this to:

  • Spot unusual drops or surges

  • Confirm the system is running smoothly

  • Compare performance across time periods to spot trends


📋 Growth Pods

Growth Pods are where a big part of your exposure happens. They connect your account with groups of real, relevant users, helping you boost visibility and attract more followbacks.

The Growth Pods section focuses entirely on Growth Pods. It shows you, in real time, how many users are following you back through this method so you always know exactly where your growth is coming from.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • If Growth Pods are turned off, the Live Activity Feed won’t show any data. Without active campaigns, there’s simply nothing for the system to track.

  • When Growth Pods are active, you’ll see a steady flow of followbacks reflected in the feed, all linked to your active Growth Pod campaigns.

📝 Pro Tip: If your Growth Pods section looks quiet, check if Growth Pods are enabled and running. This section gives you a clear pulse on your current momentum.


✅ Final Thoughts

Understanding your growth isn’t just about watching the numbers go up but rather knowing why they’re going up.

The live Activity Feed gives you a clear view into what’s working, what’s not, and what’s coming next.

💡 Check in regularly, make adjustments when needed, and use the data to guide smarter decisions. The more attention you pay, the more intentional and effective your growth will be.
