BBC News Nepali engagement report
@bbcnepali - 1.8M followers on X
Measured over 245 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 10 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 245 original posts, its engagement rate beats 14% of 3,774 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 4.2K times each, and 0.235% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.237% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 8.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 245 posts sampled, 46% carry an image or video and 56% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 251 interactions, about 25x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #bbcnepali, #nepalflood, #rasuwaflood.

Compared with accounts its own size
BBC News Nepali's engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 22% 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 0.001%, BBC News Nepali sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

चीनका प्रधानमन्त्री ली चीआङ र अन्य अधिकारीहरूले तिब्बतमा बुधवारको बाढीबाट प्रभावित क्षेत्रको भ्रमण गरेका छन्। उक्त स्थान नेपालको सीमानजिकै पर्ने केरुङ काउन्टीमा पर्छ। चिनियाँ समाचारसंस्था सिन्ह्वाका अनुसार राष्ट्रपति सी जिन्पिङले लीलाई त्यहाँ जारी उद्धार र आपत्कालीन प्रतिकार्यको नेतृत्व गर्न पठाएका हुन्। बुधवारको विनाशकारी बाढीका कारण नेपालमा धनजनको ठूलो क्षति भएको छ। नेपालतर्फ ५५० जनाभन्दा बढी मानिसको मृत्यु भएको पुष्टि भइसकेको छ भने झन्डै १,००० जना अझै सम्पर्कविहीन छन्। चिनियाँ सरकारी सञ्चारमाध्यमका अनुसार तिब्बततर्फ कम्तीमा पाँच जनाको मृत्यु भएको छ भने विदेशी पर्यटकहरूसहित ५०० जनाभन्दा बढी हराइरहेका छन्। #BBCNepali #Tibet #NepalFlood

- What is BBC News Nepali's engagement rate on X?
- BBC News Nepali (@bbcnepali) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 245 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,794,976 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, BBC News Nepali sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,521 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 @bbcnepali have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 14% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @bbcnepali post?
- Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 8.17 posts per day across the measured window.
