A typical post picks up 42 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 26% of 3,791 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 14K times each, and 0.299% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.776% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 81% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 66% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 413x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #metalgearsolid, #メタルギア.

Compared with accounts its own size

DeviantArt's engagement rate beats 26% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 27% 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 0.002%, DeviantArt sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Recurring topics

#metalgearsolid#メタルギア

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

What is DeviantArt's engagement rate on X?
DeviantArt (@DeviantArt) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 32 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,789,030 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.002%, DeviantArt sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 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 @DeviantArt have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 26% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 @DeviantArt post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
