Engagement
A typical post picks up 79 interactions against 339K followers, an engagement rate of 0.023%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 39% of 6,874 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 12K times each, and 0.643% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.62% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 14% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 625 interactions, about 7.9x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Colossal Biosciences®'s engagement rate beats 39% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 36% 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.

At 0.023%, Colossal Biosciences® sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.016% to 0.1%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 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 268 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

That look back is just too good. 👀 When Khaleesi first started meeting her brothers, she used this pile of logs as a buffer zone. She could slip underneath it, but they were too big to follow. She may be all wolf, but she’s no fool. (1/5) https://t.co/Rc1DDP9ptj

👻 Two Red "Ghost" Wolves spotted playing on a Texas beach. These canids carry ancestral Red Wolf DNA once thought lost, offering new hope for restoring genetic diversity to the American Red Wolf. Last year, we cloned the first: Neka Kayda. 🎥 Josh Henderson (1/2) https://t.co/WlRm7kLP9C

🐘 The world’s strongest nose can lift 770 lbs yet still pick up a tortilla chip. An elephant’s trunk is a muscular hydrostat, made of muscle and water. Guided by a special nerve, it helps them eat, drink, smell, trumpet, and touch with delicate precision. Now you nose. https://t.co/eKoTEwYn5i

The oldest DNA we’ve found is around 1.5 million years old. Most of the DNA we work with is hundreds of thousands of years old. Dinosaurs disappeared around 65M years ago. So yeah, cloning one is extremely unlikely at this point. But we’re not saying never. Science stays weird🤘 https://t.co/mltqCF34e4

By day, this eastern quoll is brown with white spots. By night? A dizzying little dance dasyurid. Under UV light, parts of its fur glow through biofluorescence. We still don't know why. 📸 @benalldridge's stunning photos help shine a spotlight on this endangered marsupial. https://t.co/V8PI2gxVcX

🐦 The last time a sihek hunted in the wild, Die Hard was in theaters. Then it vanished. In 2024, nine zoo-born birds were released back into the wild. They hunted, established territories, and laid the first wild sihek eggs in nearly 40 years. The sequel is underway. (1/10) https://t.co/PFh3VM0QW1

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 79 interactions against 339K followers, an engagement rate of 0.023%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 39% of 6,874 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 12K times each, and 0.643% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Colossal Biosciences®'s engagement rate on X?
- Colossal Biosciences® (@colossal) has an engagement rate of 0.023%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 339,232 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.023%, Colossal Biosciences® sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 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 @colossal have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 39% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @colossal post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.63 posts per day across the measured window.
