Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 6 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 58 interactions against 791K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Posts are seen about 9.1K times each, and 0.64% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.15% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.53 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 67% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 852 interactions, about 15x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #pompeiioutoftime, #911reunited, #timeandwater. Only 6 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

The Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae in Orkney, Scotland is over 5,000 years old. It was rediscovered in 1850 when intense storms blew away some of the sand, earth, and plants that covered it, and was uncovered further after another storm in 1926. https://t.co/ZjeooCHNyE

Bee-lieve it or not, humans have kept bees for at least 6,000 years. Bees collect a positive electrostatic charge when flying, while the pollen grains on flowers carry a negative charge. This means pollen grains are attracted to bees’ bodies, making pollination easier! https://t.co/Lepzoez89J
