Smiley News engagement report
@SmileyNews - 309K followers on X
Measured over 20 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 16, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 309K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 20 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% 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 1.2K times each, and 0.242% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.402% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.77 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 20 posts sampled, 65% carry an image or video and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 40 interactions, about 13x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #amazon, #calander, #charity.

Compared with accounts its own size
Smiley News's engagement rate beats 6% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 14% 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 0.001%, Smiley News 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%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Friday 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 | 65% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 45% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 65% 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.
- 45% 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 313 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 309K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 20 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% 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 1.2K times each, and 0.242% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.402% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.77 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 20 posts sampled, 65% carry an image or video and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 40 interactions, about 13x its own typical post.

- What is Smiley News's engagement rate on X?
- Smiley News (@SmileyNews) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 20 original posts from the last 30 days against 308,552 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Smiley News 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 @SmileyNews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 6% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% 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 @SmileyNews post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.77 posts per day across the measured window.
