Dave DiCello engagement report
@DaveDiCello - 127K followers on X
Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 2, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 669 interactions against 127K followers, an engagement rate of 0.526%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 82% 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 12K times each, and 5.66% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.27 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 36x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Dave DiCello's engagement rate beats 82% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 89% 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 00:00 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 | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 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.
- 0% 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 283 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
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.

I’m sorry baseball purists but PNC Park absolutely mogs Fenway or Wrigley https://t.co/lgosa3xnFh

Absolutely INSANE rainbow over #Pittsburgh this evening, and the West End Overlook was the perfect place to capture it. It perfectly framed the skyline and was SO vibrant. One of the best I've ever shot. https://t.co/Sxady8A64U

How cool is this?! The Wyndham in downtown #Pittsburgh is lit up with graphics for the Draft, and it looks SO much better than what I had in my head! After the event tonight I ran up to Mt. Washington and the West End to capture it, and these are some of my favorites. https://t.co/SgvOf1OxsH

Today is the 10 year anniversary of one of my all time favorite images of #Pittsburgh, when I caught a lightning bolt actually hitting the river. I never never seen that happen before, and I'll probably never seen it happen again. A once in a lifetime image. https://t.co/kwfaoTAoC5

I'm sure that you've seen a lot of images of the Ft. Pitt Bridge in #Pittsburgh, but I'm hoping that this one is a bit of a unique one. I captured this view from the roof of the Ft. Pitt Tunnel (legally!) and it remains one of my favorite images of the entrance to the Steel City. https://t.co/DtLx9QQndo

Happy 4th of July! While the humidity all but covered both the fireworks and #pittsburgh skyline a few minutes into the show, I was able to grab a few keepers, including this one. More to come! https://t.co/D5EFJeKWaM

Unreal night. Got to attend a screening of The Football Town at the science center hosted by @PatMcAfeeShow and he used my images as a giant digital backdrop for guests to take photos in front of. It was an awesome event and am so humbled my images were included! https://t.co/SDQumDSvQJ

What a day. Absolutely amazing covering the NFL Draft and I have SO many images to share. I figured that I'd start with one of the more unique ones, a view from the roof of the Steel Building in #Pittsburgh showcasing the 320,000 plus people that showed up today. Amazing. https://t.co/OSNs3Gdo0g

Last night they didn't show the Steelers logo on the Wyndham during their pick, but they did tonight, and man did it look awesome. Downtown #Pittsburgh was lit up gold behind it, the fountain was higher tonight, and the incline was on Mt. Washington. Picture perfect scene. https://t.co/uXKP5PxBfP

More images from yesterday's incredible first day of the NFL Draft in #Pittsburgh, including one of the fireworks, the Steelers logo on downtown, a closeup of that record setting draft, and a wide angle view from the Steel Building showing the city lit up black and gold. https://t.co/51vydjtCbX
