500px engagement report
@500px - 2.9M followers on X
Measured over 1 original post from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 86 interactions against 2.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 1 original post, its engagement rate beats 14% of 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 14K times each, and 0.602% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.493% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 154 interactions, about 1.8x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

From the neon-drenched glow of hidden back alleys to the cinematic rhythms of crowded city streets 🌃✨ Photographer Spotlight: Masahiro Miyagi @masahira20066 Masahiro Miyagi captures the layered, fast-paced energy of urban Japan with a distinctively cinematic eye. Choosing an 85mm f/1.4 lens over traditional wide angles, he utilizes a compression effect to pull distant billboards, glowing paper lanterns, and neon signs tight into the frame. His work isolates passing subjects with stunning, portrait-like clarity amidst the urban chaos. Masahiro strives to release the shutter the exact moment he feels an emotional spark, allowing his body and instincts to react before his brain can overthink a scene. While he embraces the sheer convenience of modern digital gear, he firmly believes that the true heart of street photography lies beyond technology, drawing constant inspiration from the raw, timeless emotion captured by early analog masters.

From neon-soaked DJ sets to intimate, unscripted moments after dark 🌃⚡ Photographer Spotlight: Katerina Shishkina on #500px Katerina Shishkina captures the vibrant chaos of real life on 35mm analog film, documenting the electric energy of local music events and candid street scenes across Southeast Asia. Her work beautifully embraces traditional "imperfections", heavy grain, motion blur, and spontaneous flash, creating an authentic visual diary that pulses with life and genuine connection. Driven by the philosophy that digital cameras record what happened while film captures what it felt like, Katerina leans into the unpredictable nature of the medium. By focusing her lens on people who are fully present and absorbed in what they love, she captures a raw, unvarnished beauty that her subjects don't even realize they are showing.

Guided by the belief that a photo should stand completely on its own as artwork, Micaela pre-visualizes every detail before pressing the shutter. By intentionally leaving elements hidden in shadow to invite mystery and using studio music to guide models into quiet, introspective emotions, she creates visual narratives that linger long after the first glance.

The structural truth of the urban landscape, unembellished. 🏙️ Photographer Spotlight: Filip Chmielecki Filip Chmielecki, a Łódź-based photographer, captures urban life and architecture with a rich, layered visual style. He rejects the polished, hyper-saturated digital aesthetic in favor of honest observation. His work focuses on the structural truth of a space, emphasizing texture and form without romanticism. Filip treats photography as art, not a craft, believing its value is in its ability to show reality as it is. He credits shooting with film for making him realize that the "skill of taking photos" has shifted toward the "skill of seeing". For Filip, minimalism is about "Not revealing all the cards at once," leaving space for the viewer to fill in the gaps and understand the real stories behind the contrasts of city life.

- What is 500px's engagement rate on X?
- 500px (@500px) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 1 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,897,569 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.003%, 500px sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @500px have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count, which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @500px post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.03 posts per day across the measured window.
