A typical post picks up 12 interactions against 455K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 114 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 4.8K times each, and 0.248% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.06% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 114 posts sampled, 97% carry an image or video and 85% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 453 interactions, about 38x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Red Pepper Uganda's engagement rate beats 19% 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 18% 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 0.003%, Red Pepper Uganda sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,374 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,897 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video97% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link85% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-no effect-2% to -1%42K
  • 97% 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.
  • 85% 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 207 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

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.

    ROAD IMPUNITY! An Office of the President vehicle, reportedly attached to an RDC (names withheld for now) in eastern Uganda, allegedly scratched a city dweller’s Mark X near Arena Mall along the Nsambya-Kansanga Road on Monday evening. The Mark X driver reportedly pursued the government vehicle until it was cornered towards Salaama Road. According to preliminary accounts, the occupant of the government vehicle allegedly got out and attempted to reach for one of the two guns reportedly inside the vehicle, apparently intending to shoot the Mark X driver. However, one of his daughters who was reportedly in the vehicle intervened, pleading with her father: “Daddy, don’t shoot people!” The incident was subsequently escalated to Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP), which dispatched a police patrol motorcycle to the scene. The matter was later taken to Kibuye Police Station. At Kibuye, the government vehicle occupant reportedly pleaded with the Mark X driver to resolve the matter “as men"...

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 12 interactions against 455K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 114 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 4.8K times each, and 0.248% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.06% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 114 posts sampled, 97% carry an image or video and 85% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 453 interactions, about 38x its own typical post.

What is Red Pepper Uganda's engagement rate on X?
Red Pepper Uganda (@RedPepperUG) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 114 original posts from the last 30 days against 455,153 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.003%, Red Pepper Uganda sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 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 @RedPepperUG have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @RedPepperUG post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.93 posts per day across the measured window.
