Measured over 60 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 23 interactions against 595K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 60 original posts, its engagement rate beats 22% of 3,829 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 2.6K times each, and 0.875% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.442% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 60 posts sampled, 65% carry an image or video and 60% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 379 interactions, about 16x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #politicsnation, #nansaturdayactionrally, #calltochapel.

Compared with accounts its own size
Reverend Al Sharpton's engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 49% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

As NAN’s national prayer vigil for Nolan Xavier Wells came to a close, NAN President/Founder Rev. Al Sharpton thanked everyone who came together to lift Nolan’s parents, Christine and Elmore, and their family in prayer. He also thanked Attorney Ben Crump for his continued advocacy and commitment to representing the family in seeking answers and accountability. Before concluding, Rev. Sharpton was informed that one of the young men who was reportedly with Nolan before his death was listening to the vigil. Rev addressed him directly, without accusation, encouraging him to share anything he may know that could help bring clarity to what happened. The message was simple: Nolan’s family deserves the truth. NAN will continue standing with Nolan’s parents and family as they seek answers. Please continue to keep them lifted in prayer. #NolanWells #JusticeForNolanWells #NANBirthdayVigilForNolan

- What is Reverend Al Sharpton's engagement rate on X?
- Reverend Al Sharpton (@TheRevAl) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 60 original posts from the last 30 days against 594,511 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, Reverend Al Sharpton sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,071 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 @TheRevAl have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @TheRevAl post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
