Today in History engagement report

Compared with accounts its own size

Today in History's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,970 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 72% 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 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.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 462 interactions against 462K followers, an engagement rate of 0.1%. Measured over 52 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,970 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 21K times each, and 2.19% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.57% 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, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 52 posts sampled, 96% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.3K interactions, about 7.1x its own typical post.

Is that a good engagement rate?

At 0.1%, Today in History sits above the 50th percentile of the 38,425 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 @TodayinHistory have real engagement?

Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,970 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
