A typical post picks up 373 interactions against 631K followers, an engagement rate of 0.059%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 62% of 20,444 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 9.5K times each, and 3.93% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 6% are part of a thread and 47% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.3K interactions, about 3.5x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #tagesevangelium, #apostolischenreise, #frankreich.

Compared with accounts its own size

Papst Leo XIV's engagement rate beats 62% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 85% 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 0.059%, Papst Leo XIV sits above the 25th percentile of the 206,536 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.025% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 206,536 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,257 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday 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: 11:00 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

  • 0% 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.
  • 47% 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 460 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.

    In diesem Zeitalter der künstlichen Intelligenz wird es immer dringlicher, menschliche Kunst von dem zu unterscheiden, was von Maschinen produziert wird. Zwischen der Kunst und dem, was eine Maschine durch statistische Berechnungen auf der Grundlage von Millionen fremder Bilder erzeugen kann, besteht ein ontologischer Unterschied – noch bevor es um ästhetische Unterschiede geht. Den Algorithmen fehlt der Funke des Menschlichen. Daher möchte die Kirche ihr Bündnis mit den Künstlern und den kulturellen Institutionen erneuern: ein Bündnis, um das Menschliche zu bewahren.

    Mein Herz ist mit dem Leid der Bevölkerung in der #Ukraine verbunden, die seit Jahren in Angst und Schrecken lebt. Ich appelliere erneut, der Gewalt ein Ende zu setzen, die Zerstörung zu stoppen und die Herzen für den Dialog und den #Frieden zu öffnen! Ich hoffe, dass die in diesen Tagen unternommenen Bemühungen zur Wiederaufnahme der Verhandlungen konkrete Früchte tragen und Raum für Diplomatie schaffen. #Betenwirgemeinsam, auf dass in allen Konflikten der Welt die Eintracht die Oberhand gewinne.

    Habt keine Angst davor, zu säen, ohne sofort die Früchte zu sehen. Das Säen liegt in eurer Hand; das Wachsen liegt in Gottes Hand. Keine Tat, die im Namen Christi vollbracht wird, ist vergeblich.

    Die Welt braucht keine künstliche Intelligenz, die den Menschen herabsetzt. Vielmehr braucht sie eine menschliche Intelligenz, die von Weisheit erhellt ist, eine politische Autorität, die sich vom Gewissen leiten lässt, und technologische Innovation, die an der Nächstenliebe ausgerichtet ist. Nur dann wird künstliche Intelligenz nicht zu einer Rivalin des Menschen, sondern zu einer Dienerin des Gemeinwohls.

    Heute, an seinem achthundertsten Todestag, möchte ich an einen Arbeiter erinnern, der im Weinberg des Herrn gewirkt und reiche Frucht gebracht hat: an den heiligen Franz von Assisi, den Jesus selbst bat, seine Kirche wiederaufzubauen.

    Die heiligste Jungfrau Maria, die in die Herrlichkeit des Himmels aufgenommen wurde, ist für das ganze Volk Gottes ein Zeichen der Hoffnung und des Trostes. Deshalb möchte ich ihre mütterliche Fürsprache heute im Namen all jener Gemeinschaften erbitten, die es besonders nötig haben, getröstet zu werden und Hoffnung zu bewahren. Ich denke an die Brüder und Schwestern im Heiligen Land, das ja schlechthin auch das Land Mariens ist. Ich denke an das ukrainische und an das russische Volk, die beide der Heiligen Mutter Gottes in inniger Verehrung verbunden sind. Ich denke an die Christen, die unter Diskriminierung oder gar Verfolgung leiden.

    Man kann nicht über Europa sprechen, ohne das Christentum zu erwähnen. Robert Schuman war sich dessen bewusst, als er erklärte: »Das Christentum hat die Gleichheit aller Menschen in ihrer Natur gelehrt als Kinder desselben Gottes, erlöst durch denselben Christus, ohne Unterschied von Rasse, Hautfarbe, Klasse und Beruf. Das universelle Gesetz der Liebe und der Nächstenliebe hat jeden Menschen zu unserem Nächsten gemacht, und auf ihm beruhen seitdem die sozialen Beziehungen in der christlichen Welt.« #ApostolischeReise #Frankreich https://t.co/RLZlexUnbc

    Nicht Atomwaffen schaffen #Frieden, sondern Abrüstung. Diese Wahrheit, die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, in denen wir eine nukleare Deeskalation erlebt haben, als unumstößlich galt, wurde durch einen Wettrüstungswettlauf getrübt, der heute Angst und Schrecken verbreitet.

    Das Böse kann man nicht mit dem Bösen bekämpfen. Wie im Himmel, so ist auch auf Erden die Liebe das Gesetz des Lebens, der Weg der Erlösung des gekreuzigten Messias. Dem falschen Realismus, der die Gedanken, die Worte und die Nationen wiederbewaffnet, muss die katholische Kultur heute den Realismus der Barmherzigkeit entgegenstellen, für den es keine Feinde geben kann und für den alle – auch die Gegner – Brüder und Schwestern sind, denen wir in die Augen schauen und in der Wahrheit begegnen müssen. #Pastoralbesuch #Rimini

    Jeder Mensch ist von Gott erdacht und gewollt, um in Gemeinschaft mit Ihm, mit den anderen und mit der Schöpfung zu treten. Seine Würde hängt nicht von seinen Fähigkeiten, seinem Reichtum oder der Position ab, die er einnimmt, noch von den richtigen oder falschen Entscheidungen, die er trifft, vielmehr ist sie ein Geschenk, das ihm vorausgeht und ihn übersteigt, und Ausdruck der nie endenden Liebe Gottes ist. #MagnificaHumanitas #Generalaudienz

What is Papst Leo XIV's engagement rate on X?
Papst Leo XIV (@Pontifex_de) has an engagement rate of 0.059%, based on the median interactions across 36 original posts from the last 30 days against 631,347 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.059%, Papst Leo XIV sits above the 25th percentile of the 206,536 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 @Pontifex_de have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 62% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @Pontifex_de post?
Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.27 posts per day across the measured window.
