Social Mentions — the raw count of posts that mention an asset

The raw number of public posts that mention a topic or asset — the building block that aggregates into Social Volume.

Social Mentions is the raw count of public posts that mention a topic or asset over a period. It is the most granular social metric LunarCrush exposes — one mention equals one qualifying post — and it is the building block that aggregates into Social Volume. A mention is counted only after the post passes through topic classification and spam and bot filtering, so the number reflects genuine human posts rather than automated chatter. On the topic endpoint it is reported as num_posts; on coin and stock lists the rolling 24-hour figure appears as social_volume_24h.
