Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 7.9K interactions against 710K followers, an engagement rate of 1.12%. Posts are seen about 364K times each, and 2.18% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 51.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.93 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 61K interactions, about 7.7x its own typical post. Only 4 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

My mom died yesterday. I have never known anyone with a greater capacity to love than she. I was lucky to visit with her a month ago. I spoke with her almost every day. She loved the Lord above all else and I am at peace because I know what that means. Her last words to me were that she loved me and I told her the same. May God bless her soul.
