MySQL engagement report
@MySQL - 227K followers on X
Measured over 5 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 1, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 5 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 15 interactions against 227K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Posts are seen about 3.5K times each, and 0.432% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.53% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.23 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 80% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 381 interactions, about 25x its own typical post. Only 5 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.

This ruler is the whole measured catalog, not a size-matched group: it shows where the raw rate falls across every account we can measure, all of which are large. For a like-for-like comparison, read the size-band percentile above instead. See how the bands are built
Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 | 80% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 80% 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.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% 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 616 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.

🚀 We are pleased to announce the availability of MySQL HeatWave 9.6.0. This release brings innovations for faster analytics, simpler AI workflows, and more flexible lakehouse loading. - MySQL HeatWave analytics: support for GROUPING SETS modifier lets specify multiple groupings of data in a single query, avoiding the need to do a UNION ALL across multiple queries. - Auto materialized views now let the optimizer automatically rewrite parts of queries to use existing materialized views for performance that can be orders of magnitude faster. - HeatWave AutoML and GenAI: The 'NL2ML' routine adds a new 'skip_generate' parameter so you can skip response generation and return only citations. This is ideal for integrating with external LLMs or MCP servers. - HeatWave Lakehouse: Support for nested data types (lists, maps, nested structures) in Parquet data. HeatWave loads such columns as flattened JSON. - A `VALIDATE ONLY` option when loading data (via `ALTER TABLE ... SECONDARY_LOAD`) validates data without loading any data. You can choose to validate all rows or a specified number of rows. -> See the Release Notes to learn more about the new features in MySQL HeatWave 9.6.0: https://t.co/cTkUNp8pbM -> See the documentation: https://t.co/uIbGohv8l7 -> Try MySQL HeatWave: https://t.co/7AlKcama85

- What is MySQL's engagement rate on X?
- MySQL (@MySQL) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 5 original posts from the last 30 days against 226,687 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.007%, MySQL sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,969 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 @MySQL have real engagement?
- There is not yet enough sample to rank this account against others of its size.
- When does @MySQL post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.23 posts per day across the measured window.
