Favstar (also known as favstar.fm) was an online service that tracked Twitter use. Favstar used an API to rank Tweets by popularity according to metrics like Favorites and Retweets.^[2]

Favstar shut down on June 19, 2018, after the API that it relied on was deprecated.^[3] A similar service was launched shortly after with LikeFluence.

As of May 2023, their homepage says "Favstar is coming back, for Mastodon, soon."^[4]
