The Dygest engagement report
@thedygest - 326K followers on X
Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 4, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 315 interactions against 326K followers, an engagement rate of 0.097%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 6,874 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 20K times each, and 1.58% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.12% 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, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 430 interactions.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Dygest's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 60% 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 0.097%, The Dygest sits above the 25th percentile of the 65,980 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.016% to 0.1%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 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.

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 | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% 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.
- 0% 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 313 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.

A new site called "Have I Been Flocked" lets you check whether police have run your license plate through Flock's camera network. Flock cameras quietly log plates across huge parts of the country. Most people have no idea they're in the system. The name is a joke. The amount of driving data being logged about you is not.

Post Malone actually played his $2 million one-of-one "One Ring" Magic card in a real game. He took a card worth more than most houses out of its protective case and put it on the table like a regular Tuesday. The richest possible way to say "cards are meant to be played." https://t.co/ayJMzKUwsj

A decade-plus-old Kingdom Hearts collection is now the best-selling paid game on Steam in the US. All it took was one new trailer for the fanbase to immediately go replay the entire saga from the start. Kingdom Hearts fans don't get hype often, but when they do, they buy the whole timeline at once.

There's a website ranking celebrities by "aura," where users vote on who wins 1v1 battles. Keanu Reeves is currently in first, which is the least surprising sentence ever written. We've successfully gamified vibes. There is now a leaderboard for something no one can define. https://t.co/sx6SLKJI8K

DreamDoll and Pudgie won Streamer Prom King and Queen by recreating Biggie and Faith Evans' iconic look. No notes, no misses. They understood the assignment and then some. Some people show up to theme events. These two studied for it. https://t.co/AexWBF3WKo

Fortnite's next leaked collab is Cyberpunk 2077: a male V skin, two iconic weapons, and a Porsche 911 Turbo. At this point Fortnite isn't a game, it's a crossover event that occasionally lets you play. Every franchise eventually files its paperwork and moves into the island. https://t.co/NM6o0Wbjmt

Someone made Super Mario 64 playable inside a YouTube video. ROM hacker Rovertronic pulled it off by exploiting YouTube's 360-degree video feature, which was never remotely designed to run a game. This man looked at a feature meant for panning around concert footage and turned it into a Nintendo 64.

The Witcher 3 devs cut a fear mechanic where NPCs would react to danger nearby. The problem: villagers would panic, drop whatever they were holding and sprint away constantly, at everything. The world was in a permanent state of dropping their stuff and fleeing. They built realistic fear and the entire town turned into cowards. Cut for being too effective.

Xbox and IKEA are dropping a collection of gaming furniture, including a cushion shaped like a D-pad and a stand shaped like an analog stick. Two Swedish flat-pack instructions and a controller cushion later, your gaming setup finally has a soul. The crossover nobody requested and everybody's about to buy.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 315 interactions against 326K followers, an engagement rate of 0.097%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 6,874 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 20K times each, and 1.58% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.12% 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, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is The Dygest's engagement rate on X?
- The Dygest (@thedygest) has an engagement rate of 0.097%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 326,165 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.097%, The Dygest sits above the 25th percentile of the 65,980 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 @thedygest have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 @thedygest post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
