Hodan Ali engagement report
@hodansomali - 120K followers on X
Measured over 22 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 5, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 64 interactions against 120K followers, an engagement rate of 0.053%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 43% of 20,444 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 7.7K times each, and 0.831% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.42% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.5K interactions, about 39x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #everydaysomalia, #freepalastine, #freepalestine.

Compared with accounts its own size
Hodan Ali's engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 37% 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 0.053%, Hodan Ali sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 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.

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 | 91% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 9% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 91% 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.
- 9% 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 544 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.

Turkish flags filled the stands in Baidoa as Somalis gathered to show their support for Türkiye and thank Ankara for its longstanding backing of the country. The rally comes as Türkiye and Somalia deepen their strategic partnership, with co-operation spanning defence, energy, fisheries, maritime security and space. In 2024, the two countries signed a 10-year defence and economic agreement, while Türkiye has also expanded oil and gas exploration and begun construction of a spaceport in Somalia. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud recently praised Türkiye’s support, saying his country must not disappoint “the Turkish people and the Turkish state” who have stood by Somalia

Ku: Guddoomiye @Amohamednur Mudane: Asalaamu Calaykum Dhowr qodob baan rabaa in aan kuu boobsiiyo. 1) Markii Madaxweynuhu diyaarad raaco oo xudduudda dalka ka baxo, aragtida aad qabtid ee ah in aad tahay kusime madaxweyne ama acting president arrin jirta maaha … xitaa hadday ku qoran tahay dastuurada labada ah mid ama labadaba ama kii lixdankii. Xagga protocolka markii meel la sa sugu yimaado iyo fadhiga uun baad kursiga ku xiga Madaxweynaha lagu fariisinayaa — haddii tii Alle u timaadana (Alle ha dhowree) 45 days baad kusime aahaanaysaa, laakiin hadda boos acting president kuuma bannana. Xeer dejin iyo halkaas baad jirtaa, fulintana Madaxweyne iyo Ra’iisul Wasaare iyo Gole Wasiiro iyo halkaas bay jirtaa. Arrintaas kusime madaxweyne sanadihii 1960 kii (oo xiriirka qofkii safra adkaa( ayaa la qoray haddana looma baahna oo oday Xasan Sheekh labadiisa talefoon oo roaming ka ah iyo Signal-kiisa ayuu hawsha ku wataa; Haddii aad adigu madaxweyne dalka ka tahay markuu odaygu safro, meesha uu u socdey markuu tago isna muxuu noqonayaa? Mise waxaad kala noqonaysaa “madaxweynaha dibadda” iyo “midka gudaha”. Shaqada Xasan Sheekh hayo oo executive ka ah xitaa haddii la damco in lagaa daba geeyo lagaama daba geyn karo; Sidaas darteed saaxiib waxaad kusime madaxweyne tahay ma jirto; isagaa New York iyo maanta oo uu Addis joogo halkiisa ka soo madaxweyneyn-haya. Waa common sense. Soo kuurkuursigaaguna meesha kuma jiro.

Wixii sax ah oo dalka iyo dadka u fiican ka shaqee, nabaddu ay ugu horrayso gaar ahaan Koofur Galbeed iyo doorasho xor iyo xalaal ah. Haddaad talo u baahatid @MohamedHRoble is waraysta. Waqtigiisii waa loo baxsaday oo dagaallo ayaa laga baaqsaday doorasho loo qaateen ahna waa la aaday. @aliabdiweli qudhiisu transition buu hoggaamiyey. Berri maanka ku hay.

- What is Hodan Ali's engagement rate on X?
- Hodan Ali (@hodansomali) has an engagement rate of 0.053%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 120,001 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.053%, Hodan Ali sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 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 @hodansomali have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @hodansomali post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.77 posts per day across the measured window.
