A typical post picks up 8 interactions against 480K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 12% of 3,716 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 6.6K times each, and 0.128% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.38% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026.
