Altcoins fork sometimes due to various reasons.

I was wondering if there's a reliable method to detect how many chains for a coin are actively mined at a given moment in time? Anyone know of a good method of detecting this?

edit for clarification: we're talking about unwanted forks not forks by the dev. The kind of forks that happen from attacks, code issues, hashrate fluctuation and whatnot. So not regular and announced forks but accidental forks.
