A typical post picks up 3.9K interactions against 963K followers, an engagement rate of 0.402%. Measured over 50 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 6,873 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 141K times each, and 2.75% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 50 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 4, 2026.
