Engagement
A typical post picks up 2.7K interactions against 900K followers, an engagement rate of 0.301%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 88% of 3,848 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 230K times each, and 1.18% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 25.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
Measured over 14 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026.
