Engagement
A typical post picks up 0 interactions against 47K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 0% of 20,445 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 187 times each, and 0% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.396% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 40% carry an image or video and 28% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 476 interactions.

Compared with accounts its own size
AFRICA NOW's engagement rate beats 0% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,445 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 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 0% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 40% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 28% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 40% 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.
- 28% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 242 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.

Al Burhan is directly responsible for the death of the poor miners who were slaughtered by Sisi and his army. Burhan didn't condemn the attack and is playing cards for his PR stunts while the families are mourning. The man is the killer of his own people, the butcher of Sudan! https://t.co/JNOvMGzcep

- What is AFRICA NOW's engagement rate on X?
- AFRICA NOW (@AfricaNowX) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 47,165 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0%, AFRICA NOW sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 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 @AfricaNowX have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 0% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,445 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 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.

- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
