A typical post picks up 236 interactions against 226K followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 60% 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 22K times each, and 1.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.83% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 50x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

@mikko's engagement rate beats 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 44% 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 0.104%, @mikko 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%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,694 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,880 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 07:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video75% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link75% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-no effect-2% to -1%42K
  • 75% 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.
  • 75% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 184 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.

    One way to answer the question of whether we've achieved AGI is to ask what people in 1980 would have said if you showed them current models. We're standing on the finish line, so we're uncertain. But anyone in 1980 would have said yes.

    We're dealing with a major malicious attack on @rubygems right now. Signups are paused for the time being. Hundreds of packages involved - mostly targeting us, but some carrying exploits. The team has been on this for hours. More details to follow once we're through it. #ruby

    ❗ Seeking to contain Russia by proxy, the UK is acting as an accomplice and co-perpetrator of the bloody crimes and terrorist attacks committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis. London’s actions will inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer. https://t.co/zf9yJN1ZMl https://t.co/LKhFGv8K5g

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 236 interactions against 226K followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 60% 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 22K times each, and 1.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.83% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 50x its own typical post.

What is @mikko's engagement rate on X?
@mikko (@mikko) has an engagement rate of 0.104%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 226,266 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.104%, @mikko 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 @mikko have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 60% 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 @mikko post?
Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.2 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
