Engagement
A typical post picks up 348 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.034%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 54% of 3,862 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 25K times each, and 1.38% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.47% 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 73% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 21 posts sampled, 95% carry an image or video, 52% are part of a thread and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.8K interactions, about 5.3x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
European Parliament's engagement rate beats 54% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 59% 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 09:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

The fight against child sexual abuse continues. But not at the expense of privacy. Parliament backs reinstating temporary child safety rules, while protecting encrypted messages. EU governments decide next. This bridges the gap until permanent laws are finalised. https://t.co/GNo9ZgYsz9

Serbia must show real commitment to EU values. Progress towards EU membership is only possible with rule of law reforms and stronger democratic standards. Serbia must normalise relations with Kosovo. Free and fair elections are needed to solve the political crisis. https://t.co/GC381mopGO

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 348 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.034%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 54% of 3,862 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 25K times each, and 1.38% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.47% 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 73% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is European Parliament's engagement rate on X?
- European Parliament (@Europarl_EN) has an engagement rate of 0.034%, based on the median interactions across 21 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,024,513 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.034%, European Parliament sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,459 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 @Europarl_EN have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 54% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 @Europarl_EN post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
