A typical post picks up 2.3K interactions against 490K followers, an engagement rate of 0.478%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 91% of 20,444 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 26K times each, and 9.18% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.21% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 48% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 5.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

AfD's engagement rate beats 91% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 97% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.478%, AfD sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.677%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,694 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,880 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 12:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link48% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K

  • 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 48% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 271 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Die NGO Campact ruft dazu auf, mehr als 60 Youtuber auf einer Liste zu boykottieren. Diese Vorarbeit ist super - denn so kannst Du jetzt prüfen, ob Du dem ein oder anderen Account überhaupt schon folgst - oder das noch nachholen musst. Danke Campact! https://t.co/Tw7dO3oE5c https://t.co/UCF77cKJ8G

    Ulrich Siegmund: "Wir haben die Situation, dass Menschen gerade zur Arbeit fahren, nur um den Sprit zu bezahlen, den sie brauchen, um zur Arbeit kommen. Das ist nur möglich weil ihr Bundeskanzler eine Politik macht, wo er der Meinung ist die Welt zu retten mit Sanktionen und Klimasteuern."

    "Als erste Amtshandlung werden wir die Rundfunkstaatsverträge kündigen, um echten Reformdruck zu erzeugen. Da­durch werden die Rundfunkgebühren nicht sofort hinfällig, ein solcher Schritt ist aber der Anfang vom Ende des GEZ-fi­nanzierten Zwangsrundfunks. Unser Ziel ist ein schlankes, sparsames und transpa­rentes Mediensystem, das der ursprüng­lichen Idee der medialen Grundversor­gung gerecht wird."

    Das mit Steuergeld geförderte „Volksbad“ in Berlin schließt Bürger wegen ihrer Hautfarbe aus. Der steuerfinanzierte Verein EOTO betreibt dort offene Spaltung. Damit muss Schluss sein: Öffentliche Gelder gehören nicht in die Hände von Ideologen, sondern müssen allen Bürgern gleichermaßen zugutekommen.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 2.3K interactions against 490K followers, an engagement rate of 0.478%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 91% of 20,444 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 26K times each, and 9.18% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.21% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 48% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 5.7x its own typical post.

What is AfD's engagement rate on X?
AfD (@AfD) has an engagement rate of 0.478%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 490,376 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.478%, AfD sits above the 50th percentile of the 204,694 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 @AfD have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 91% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the top 10% 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 @AfD post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
