A typical post picks up 9 interactions against 878K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 39 original posts, its engagement rate beats 10% of 1,003 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 11K times each, and 0.079% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.30% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 39 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 22, 2026.
