A typical post picks up 94 interactions against 5.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Posts are seen about 73K times each, and 0.129% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.40% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 8.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 254 posts sampled, 35% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.6K interactions, about 60x its own typical post.

Measured over 254 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.

Where this sits in the catalog

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,491 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 09:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 09:00 UTC.

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 video35% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link67% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length--3%-3% to -2%54K
  • 35% 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.
  • 67% 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 116 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

    尼泊尔北部与中国西藏接壤的边境地区发生毁灭性洪灾,已造成至少31人死亡。尼泊尔称有数百名游客失踪。 西藏一侧的监控画面显示,洪水和泥石流吞没了吉隆口岸的建筑,民众奔跑逃离。中国官方媒体称,当地出现“重大人员伤亡”。 由于原始画面包含令人不安的内容,BBC对这段影片进行了剪辑,并加入了白色闪烁画面。

    今天,距毛泽东去世已整整50年。但在中国网络上,他并没有被年轻人遗忘。 不少Z世代不再叫他“毛主席”,而是称他为“教员”。他的影片在中国网络上获得数百万观看,《毛泽东选集》甚至多年登上清华图书馆年度借阅榜首。 分析认为,这不只是怀旧。面对就业压力和贫富差距,一些年轻人重新从毛泽东的阶级论述寻找答案;毛时代强调的“独立自主、自力更生”,在今日中西方竞争的背景下,也再次产生吸引力。 但这股“毛泽东热”也引发疑问:年轻人重新拥抱毛泽东时,究竟记住了什么,又遗忘了什么?
