Engagement
A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 240 original posts, its engagement rate beats 1% of 3,774 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 1.2K times each, and 0.08% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.106% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
Measured over 240 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
