A typical post picks up 56 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 13K times each, and 0.418% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.749% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 90% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 310x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #deviantart, #fanart, #spiderman.

Compared with accounts its own size

DeviantArt's engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 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 32% 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 0.003%, DeviantArt sits above the 10th percentile of the 10,326 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.007%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 10,326 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 442,521 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday 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: 18:00 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 video93% of posts+79%+73% to +85%5.8K
Outbound link90% of posts-49%-50% to -47%6.1K
Typical length--7%-8% to -5%9.0K
  • 93% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 90% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% 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 151 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 7% below 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.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Recurring topics

#deviantart#fanart#spiderman

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 56 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 13K times each, and 0.418% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.749% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 90% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 310x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #deviantart, #fanart, #spiderman.

What is DeviantArt's engagement rate on X?
DeviantArt (@DeviantArt) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,789,651 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.003%, DeviantArt sits above the 10th percentile of the 10,326 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 @DeviantArt have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range 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 @DeviantArt post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1 posts per day across the measured window.
