After the huge spike from “The Mandalorian” Season 2 and then a smaller rise from “The Book of Boba Fett” in recent years past, we’ve now reached 186.5k followers this year when counting our website’s memberships alongside our Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Tumblr<\/a>, and newcomer Threads<\/a>. (We’ve also continued test driving Mastodon<\/a> plus now Bluesky<\/a> and TikTok<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Here’s a recap of our most popular content from January 1 to today, December 31.<\/p>\n

Facebook<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | BFFC News<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

If all social platforms were awesome, we could compare all things on the same metric, but unfortunately some stats we can get with ease are based on impressions\/views and others are based on likes, the latter of which of course are harder to earn. We’ve noted that alongside each data set below.<\/small><\/p>\n
