AfD engagement report
@AfD - 479K followers on X
Measured over 39 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 28, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.1K interactions against 479K followers, an engagement rate of 0.653%. Measured over 39 original posts, its engagement rate beats 93% of 3,882 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 42K times each, and 7.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 39 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 4.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #vision2026, #alternativefürdeutschland, #gefährlich.

Compared with accounts its own size
AfD's engagement rate beats 93% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 96% 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.653%, AfD sits above the 75th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.439% to 2.10%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

Die NGO Campact ruft dazu auf, mehr als 60 Youtuber auf einer Liste zu boykottieren. Diese Vorarbeit ist super - denn so kannst Du jetzt prüfen, ob Du dem ein oder anderen Account überhaupt schon folgst - oder das noch nachholen musst. Danke Campact! https://t.co/Tw7dO3oE5c https://t.co/UCF77cKJ8G

"Als erste Amtshandlung werden wir die Rundfunkstaatsverträge kündigen, um echten Reformdruck zu erzeugen. Dadurch werden die Rundfunkgebühren nicht sofort hinfällig, ein solcher Schritt ist aber der Anfang vom Ende des GEZ-finanzierten Zwangsrundfunks. Unser Ziel ist ein schlankes, sparsames und transparentes Mediensystem, das der ursprünglichen Idee der medialen Grundversorgung gerecht wird."

Mehr als die Hälfte aller Bootsmigranten auf privaten Schiffen brachten deutsche Organisationen nach Italien. Rom fordert nun Entschädigungen aus Berlin und wehrt sich gegen die verfehlte deutsche Asylpolitik. Wir fordern das sofortige Ende dieser NGO-Einsätze und einen echten Grenzschutz für Europa.

Ulrich Siegmund: "Wir haben die Situation, dass Menschen gerade zur Arbeit fahren, nur um den Sprit zu bezahlen, den sie brauchen, um zur Arbeit kommen. Das ist nur möglich weil ihr Bundeskanzler eine Politik macht, wo er der Meinung ist die Welt zu retten mit Sanktionen und Klimasteuern."

Das mit Steuergeld geförderte „Volksbad“ in Berlin schließt Bürger wegen ihrer Hautfarbe aus. Der steuerfinanzierte Verein EOTO betreibt dort offene Spaltung. Damit muss Schluss sein: Öffentliche Gelder gehören nicht in die Hände von Ideologen, sondern müssen allen Bürgern gleichermaßen zugutekommen.

"Wir werden alle Staatsausgaben zur Förderung der Altparteien und ihrer Ideologie einstellen. Wir werden den Parteistiftungen - inklusive unserer eigenen - die Mittel streichen, weil Parteibildungsarbeit nicht durch Steuern, sondern durch Spenden und Mitgliedsbeiträge finanziert werden soll. Wir werden der Asyl- und Integrationsindustrie den Geldhahn zudrehen. Ebenso werden wir den Landesanteil aller aus dem Programm "Demokratie leben" finanzierten Programme streichen, den Landeszuschuss für das Programm „Schule ohne Rassismus - Schule mit Courage" einstellen, die „Evangelische Akademie Sachsen-Anhalt e.V." nicht mehr fördern und dem „miteinander e.V." jegliche Förderung entziehen. Und schließlich werden wir die Finanzierung aller Projekte der Klimarettungsindustrie und aller Genderprojekte einstellen."

Bundeskanzler Merz (CDU) und Finanzminister Klingbeil (SPD) brechen ihr Versprechen: Die neue Zuckersteuer trifft sogar zuckerfreie Getränke, Schorlen und alkoholfreies Bier. Diese unverschämte Bürgerabzocke zur Haushaltssanierung muss sofort gestoppt werden. https://t.co/GVjXxnjJoD

"Wir werden Asylbewerber zu gemeinnütziger Arbeit nach §5 Absatz 4 Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz verpflichten und im Falle einer Arbeitsverweigerung Leistungseinschränkungen vornehmen. Da eine Voraussetzung dafür die zentrale Unterbringung ist, werden wir danach streben, so viele Asylbewerber wie möglich zentral unterzubringen. Die Unterbringung im Heim muss der Regelfall sein, die Unterbringung in Privatwohnungen muss die Ausnahme bleiben."

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.653%, AfD sits above the 75th percentile of the 37,701 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.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
