Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.2K interactions against 4.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.026%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 48% 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 38K times each, and 3.20% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.816% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts 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 42 posts sampled, 7% are part of a thread and 40% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 20K interactions, about 16x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #vangelodioggi, #francia, #preghiamoinsieme.

Compared with accounts its own size
Papa Leone XIV's engagement rate beats 48% 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 80% 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.

At 0.026%, Papa Leone XIV sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

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.

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 | 2% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 40% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 2% 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.
- 40% 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 393 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.

Carissimi, di recente, durante alcuni controlli, i medici mi hanno trovato un nodulo circoscritto al polmone. E’ stato individuato in una fase molto iniziale e ben localizzato. I medici ritengono opportuno intervenire. E allora seguendo i loro consigli ho deciso di operarmi per toglierlo. L’intervento è già programmato nei prossimi giorni. Vi ringrazio per la vostra vicinanza spirituale e mi affido alla vostra preghiera.

Desidero ringraziare tutti coloro che in questi giorni hanno pregato per me. Particolare riconoscenza esprimo ai medici, agli infermieri e a tutto il personale del Policlinico Gemelli. Questa esperienza mi ha fatto provare in modo particolare la vicinanza a quanti attraversano la malattia e una condizione di infermità. Superata questa fase delicata riprenderò gradualmente le mie attività, sempre con l’aiuto di Dio e delle vostre preghiere.

Rinnovo il mio appello affinché cessino le ripetute violenze contro la popolazione civile palestinese in Cisgiordania e chiedo con urgenza alla comunità internazionale di fare in modo che progredisca la soluzione a due Stati, per una pace giusta e duratura.

La pena di morte è inammissibile perché attenta all’inviolabilità e dignità della persona. Il bene comune può essere tutelato e i requisiti della giustizia possono essere salvaguardati senza ricorrere alla pena capitale: sono stati messi a punto sistemi di detenzione efficaci, che proteggono i cittadini, ma, allo stesso tempo, non tolgono completamente ai colpevoli la possibilità di redimersi. #NoDeathPenalty

Seguo con apprensione il perdurare e l’inasprirsi della violenza in #TerraSanta, di cui ultimamente sono state vittime anche molti civili, in #Cisgiordania e a #Gaza. Rivolgo un accorato appello affinché si torni a negoziare un’equa soluzione politica, fondata sulla pari dignità e gli uguali diritti di ogni persona umana, e a rigettare nuove azioni militari e decisioni unilaterali, in particolare quelle che violano il rispetto e lo status quo dei luoghi santi di ogni fede religiosa.

Oggi, nell’ottavo centenario della morte, desidero ricordare un operaio che ha lavorato con gran frutto nella vigna del Signore: San Francesco d’Assisi, al quale Gesù stesso chiese di riparare la sua Chiesa.

La preghiera diventa efficace quando tende verso il prossimo. La caritas generata dallo Spirito Santo è l’amore di Dio riversato nei nostri cuori: un amore che si fa impegno di vita e servizio. Questo amore deve diventare meta, stile e senso del nostro vivere.

Il mondo non ha bisogno di un’intelligenza artificiale che sminuisca l’umanità; ha piuttosto bisogno di un’intelligenza umana illuminata dalla saggezza, di un’autorità politica guidata dalla coscienza e di un’innovazione tecnologica orientata dalla carità. Solo allora l’intelligenza artificiale diventerà non una rivale dell’umanità, ma una servitrice del bene comune.

I morti nel Mediterraneo sono vittime sia di decisioni prese, sia di decisioni mancate: il disinteresse per il bene comune e la corruzione nei luoghi di provenienza, un sistema economico mondiale che genera povertà ed esclusione, la paura che alimenta pregiudizi e disprezzo, l’idea che tali problemi non ci riguardano, i calcoli criminali di chi lucra sul dramma altrui, il lento e difficile passaggio da una mera gestione delle emergenze all’elaborazione di politiche organiche e condivise. #VisitaPastorale #Lampedusa

Oggi la Chiesa celebra la memoria liturgica di san Pio da Pietrelcina: la sua testimonianza di fede e di carità sia per ciascuno di voi un invito a confidare sempre nella bontà e nella misericordia di Dio.

- What is Papa Leone XIV's engagement rate on X?
- Papa Leone XIV (@Pontifex_it) has an engagement rate of 0.026%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,685,981 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.026%, Papa Leone XIV sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 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_it have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 48% 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_it post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.53 posts per day across the measured window.
