A typical post picks up 423 interactions against 875K followers, an engagement rate of 0.048%. Measured over 81 original posts, its engagement rate beats 60% of 3,829 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 33K times each, and 1.30% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.72% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 81 posts sampled, 38% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 32x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Le Canard enchaîné's engagement rate beats 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 58% 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 0.048%, Le Canard enchaîné sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,037 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,037 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,893 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 05:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

    Bally Bagayoko n’est pas le seul ! La RATP a fait bénéficier à 200 élus d’un emploi à temps plein, mais pas trop prenant, pour les aider à exercer facilement leur mandat en échange de leur soutien. Une information « que tout le monde connaît », admet le député LFI de Paris Rodrigo Arenas. Surtout depuis que « Le Canard » l’a publiée. https://t.co/EvtLeaPS5s

    Depuis les révélations du « Canard » sur l’emploi à plein temps accordé par la RATP à Bally Bagayoko, Jean-Luc Mélenchon et plusieurs cadres LFI s’en prennent au Palmipède en se gardant bien d’évoquer le fond de l’affaire : un échange de bons procédés qui a permis à l’élu de bénéficier d’un boulot pas trop prenant, et à la Régie de disposer d’un relais politique en Seine-Saint-Denis. Pour faire diversion, rien ne vaut le bruit et la fureur ! ➡ https://t.co/q0hMHXzPmm

    Depuis les articles du « Canard » sur l’emploi exercé à la RATP par Bally Bagayoko avant son élection à la mairie de Saint-Denis, le Palmipède est attaqué pour des choses qu’il n’a pas écrites.  Reste des questions simples. L’élu Insoumis a-t-il oui ou non bénéficié d’un traitement de faveur pour décrocher son emploi à la RATP ? La Régie l’a-t-elle oui ou non rémunéré en douce durant une partie du temps consacré à l’exercice de ses mandats ? « Le Canard » revient sur le dossier après avoir contacté à nouveau le principal intéressé ⤵ https://t.co/vEN4Rg8dIT

    La fraude à l’assurance maladie « provient essentiellement de professionnels de santé ». C’est la conclusion principale d’un rapport de l’Inspection des finances et l’Igas mis en ligne fin juillet. Une information que le gouvernement gardait bien au chaud depuis plus d'un an. ➡ https://t.co/nsWXepyDAf

    💬 « On a l’impression que quelque chose nous échappe. » Sans blague ! A Matignon on n’en mène pas large après le vol de données fiscales de 700 000 Français. D’autant plus que les problèmes étaient connus. Au moins deux rapports publiés ces dernières années et exhumés par « Le Canard » avertissaient Bercy de « failles structurelles » et de « faiblesses liées à l’ancienneté » du matériel et des logiciels utilisés. Des milliards d'euros ont pourtant été dépensés dans la sécurité, sans grand effet… ➡ https://t.co/jlnqywqZSQ

    50 kits de dégustation de vin de Blaye, une bouteille de champagne à 88 euros, 3 941 euros de chauffeur privé… 240 000 euros de factures de la campagne des européennes de 2024 ne seront pas remboursés à Jordan Bardella et au RN. Ainsi en a décidé la justice. Ces frais ont été jugés sans lien avec la course aux électeurs. ➡ https://t.co/rX7JW2VJdo

    💬 « Il ne peut pas affirmer qu’il ignorait qu’une telle opération était répréhensible », écrit la cour d’appel de Douai qui vient de confirmer la condamnation d’Alain Griset, l’ex-sous-ministre de Macron aux PME.

    🔴 « Le Canard » a mis la palme sur une enquête administrative concernant l’ambassadeur de France en Centrafrique, Bruno Foucher, et elle n’est pas piquée des hannetons. Il faut dire que le diplomate reçoit beaucoup de « visiteuses » dans sa résidence officielle. De quoi alerter les gendarmes du GIGN en poste à Bangui. Surtout quand on sait que le pays est noyauté par les services russes. https://t.co/zy4i863PDz

    A l'Assemblée nationale, un système méconnu permet aux députés de transmettre leur fauteuil à leur suppléant sans avoir à passer par de périlleuses élections législatives partielles. La recette est simple : il suffit que Matignon leur confie pendant plus de 6 mois une petite mission gouvernementale.  https://t.co/vuC8fboc8t

    L’université d’été du Medef bat son plein en ce moment à Paris. Et le syndicat patronal fait financer l’événement par des organismes publics. Pourquoi se priver ? Selon un document consulté par « Le Canard », la Banque publique d’investissement et France Travail ont déboursé chacun 60 000 euros. Et si c’étaient les seuls à casquer, mais non… https://t.co/eccTXOcAmW

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 423 interactions against 875K followers, an engagement rate of 0.048%. Measured over 81 original posts, its engagement rate beats 60% of 3,829 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 33K times each, and 1.30% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.72% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 81 posts sampled, 38% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 32x its own typical post.

What is Le Canard enchaîné's engagement rate on X?
Le Canard enchaîné (@canardenchaine) has an engagement rate of 0.048%, based on the median interactions across 81 original posts from the last 30 days against 875,208 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.048%, Le Canard enchaîné sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,037 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 @canardenchaine have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @canardenchaine post?
Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.73 posts per day across the measured window.
