A typical post picks up 252 interactions against 217K followers, an engagement rate of 0.117%. Measured over 55 original posts, its engagement rate beats 62% of 20,183 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 9.0K times each, and 2.81% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.13% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 55 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 5% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.7K interactions, about 11x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #rdc, #ankoro, #congo.

Compared with accounts its own size

Benjamin Umba's engagement rate beats 62% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 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 73% 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 0.117%, Benjamin Umba sits above the 25th percentile of the 202,566 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.142%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 202,566 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,933 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 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.

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: 10:00 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

  • 100% 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.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 368 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.

    Voilà à quoi ressemble la vie des touristes au Sénégal 🇸🇳. Ils s’y sentent tellement à l’aise que même dans le train, les annonces sont faites en anglais pour les voyageurs anglophones. Un touriste raconte d’ailleurs avoir beaucoup apprécié Dakar : une ville propre, magnifique, et qui reste agréable même dans sa banlieue. C’est un très bon signe pour le tourisme. Et surtout, ça montre une chose : l’hospitalité des Sénégalais est bien réelle. ❤️🇸🇳

    Voilà la RD Congo que nous voulons voir 🇨🇩 : une RDC où les entrepreneurs se rencontrent, apprennent, innovent et construisent ensemble. Silikin Village montre la voie. Il en faut davantage à travers toute la République, dans chaque province. Plus d’incubateurs, plus de mentors, plus d’opportunités, plus d’entrepreneurs accompagnés. La RDC ne manque pas de talents. Elle doit leur donner les moyens de réussir. 🇨🇩🚀

    Comme vous le savez, Air Congo opère également sur la ligne Paris–Kinshasa. Une Congolaise interpelle ici l’agent au comptoir à Paris : puisqu’il travaille pour Air Congo, il devrait selon elle parler lingala. Mais n’est-ce pas un peu abusif ? La Congolaise qui travaille pour Turkish Airlines à Kinshasa parle-t-elle forcément turc ? Celle de Qatar Airways parle-t-elle arabe ? Travailler pour une compagnie congolaise ne signifie pas automatiquement que chaque employé doit parler lingala. 😅

What is Benjamin Umba's engagement rate on X?
Benjamin Umba (@benjimk) has an engagement rate of 0.117%, based on the median interactions across 55 original posts from the last 30 days against 216,684 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.117%, Benjamin Umba sits above the 25th percentile of the 202,566 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 @benjimk have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 62% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 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 @benjimk post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.23 posts per day across the measured window.
