A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 420K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 3,899 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 901 times each, and 0.111% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.215% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 6% carry an image or video and 97% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27 interactions, about 27x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Jacaranda FM's engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 8% 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 under 0.001%, Jacaranda FM sits below 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.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 420K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 3,899 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 901 times each, and 0.111% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.215% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 6% carry an image or video and 97% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27 interactions, about 27x its own typical post.

What is Jacaranda FM's engagement rate on X?
Jacaranda FM (@jacarandafm) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 36 original posts from the last 30 days against 419,569 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At under 0.001%, Jacaranda FM sits below 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 @jacarandafm have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 @jacarandafm post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
