Engagement
A typical post picks up 535 interactions against 63K followers, an engagement rate of 0.923%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 20,445 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 31K times each, and 1.73% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 49.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
Measured over 29 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 5, 2026.
