Early reading. We have captured 4 original posts 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 7.9K interactions against 710K followers, an engagement rate of 1.12%. Posts are seen about 364K times each, and 2.18% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 51.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.93 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 61K interactions, about 7.7x its own typical post. Only 4 original posts 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

    My mom died yesterday. I have never known anyone with a greater capacity to love than she. I was lucky to visit with her a month ago. I spoke with her almost every day. She loved the Lord above all else and I am at peace because I know what that means. Her last words to me were that she loved me and I told her the same. May God bless her soul.
