A typical post picks up 36 interactions against 555K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 15 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% 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 14K times each, and 0.249% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.60% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.53 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 15 posts sampled, 73% carry an image or video and 73% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 30x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

U.S. Embassy Addis's engagement rate beats 28% 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 0.006%, U.S. Embassy Addis sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,880 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 204,880 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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

  • 73% 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.
  • 73% 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 475 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.

    Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce Mark Mitchell's visit to Addis Ababa was his first — but not his family's. More than 75 years ago, his father, Ralph Flint Mitchell, Jr., was an Ethiopian Airlines pilot and served as personal pilot to Emperor Haile Selassie, accompanying the Emperor, the Empress, and even the royal dog on international travels, including the dedication of the Nile River bridge in May 1950. That history came full circle during DAS Mitchell's meetings in Ethiopia, a quiet reminder that America's partnership with Ethiopia spans generations. Some relationships, just like flights, are meant to go the distance. Check out some of Ralph Mitchell's photos he personally took of Emperor Haile Selassie below! #USinEthiopia

    The U.S. Embassy and @AAU_Official celebrated the 60th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy Library, a symbol of academic collaboration between our two countries. As Ambassador Massinga noted in his remarks, the United States remains committed to strengthening its engagement with Addis Ababa University and other institutions in the years ahead - including through a grant for partial renovation of this historic landmark building.

    Ambassador Massinga visited Gondar and met with local and regional officials to talk about this iconic city and all it has to offer – from its rich history and UNESCO World Heritage status to its role as a commercial hub and home to the University of Gondar. The Ambassador discussed prospects for peace and the possible opportunities ahead for U.S.-Ethiopian trade and investment. No trip to Gondor would be complete without a tour of the famous Fasil Castle, the 17th-century fortress that earned Gondar the nickname "Camelot of Africa." #USinEthiopia

    Ambassador Massinga co-chaired a Public-Private Dialogue in Addis Ababa on July 23, bringing together the EIC, Ethiopian government ministries, and AmCham Ethiopia to advance commercial diplomacy and expand market access for U.S. companies. Ambassador Massinga stressed that a transparent, predictable business environment is key to unlocking greater U.S. investment, and called on the EIC and private sector to develop a targeted action plan to resolve business bottlenecks. This results-driven partnership reflects the U.S. commitment to accelerating Ethiopia's economic transformation and delivering shared prosperity for both nations.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 36 interactions against 555K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 15 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% 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 14K times each, and 0.249% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.60% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.53 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 15 posts sampled, 73% carry an image or video and 73% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 30x its own typical post.

What is U.S. Embassy Addis's engagement rate on X?
U.S. Embassy Addis (@USEmbassyAddis) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 15 original posts from the last 30 days against 555,059 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.006%, U.S. Embassy Addis sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,880 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 @USEmbassyAddis have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 28% 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 @USEmbassyAddis post?
Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.53 posts per day across the measured window.
