Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 241 interactions against 293K followers, an engagement rate of 0.082%. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 1.49% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.53% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 83% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 44x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,829 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 56,240 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Saturday 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: 19:00 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 video83% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 83% 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.
  • 17% 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 207 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.

    🇿🇦 A United Nations committee has called on South Africa to take stronger action against racist and anti migration vigilante groups targeting migrants. 1) The UN committee said the violence reported since early 2026 has left at least four migrants dead and displaced more than 50,000 people. 2) President Cyril Ramaphosa says authorities are investigating the attacks, with arrests already made.
