A typical post picks up 8 interactions against 86K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 7% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 823 times each, and 0.972% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.961% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.47 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 82% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 169 interactions, about 21x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Freelancers Union's engagement rate beats 7% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 3 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 31% 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 0.009%, Freelancers Union sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,701 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 104,204 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    This is a win for freelancers and creators everywhere. We commend the judge for making this decision as it builds the necessary precedent for artists to protect their original works from being used to train AI without disclosure or payment. https://t.co/xxunHXh7dw

    There are many unknowns right now, but one thing is for certain โ€” freelancers are excited to share resources, learn from each other, & hold bad actors accountable. We couldn't have better proof of that than our Freelance Isn't Free Day. Read the recap: https://t.co/vs83qJ2wLu. https://t.co/xetgS63IdU

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 8 interactions against 86K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 7% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 823 times each, and 0.972% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.961% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.47 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 82% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 169 interactions, about 21x its own typical post.

What is Freelancers Union's engagement rate on X?
Freelancers Union (@freelancersu) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 85,663 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.009%, Freelancers Union sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,701 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 @freelancersu have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 7% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size 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 @freelancersu post?
Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.47 posts per day across the measured window.
