A typical post picks up 14 interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 102 original posts, its engagement rate beats 15% of 983 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 2.5K times each, and 0.585% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.115% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
