epicurious engagement report
@epicurious - 3.4M followers on X
Measured over 20 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 12 interactions against 3.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 20 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 3,739 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 15K times each, and 0.075% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.455% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.67 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 20 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 89x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
epicurious's engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 6% 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

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

- What is epicurious's engagement rate on X?
- epicurious (@epicurious) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 20 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,360,223 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At under 0.001%, epicurious sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,261 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 @epicurious have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% 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 @epicurious post?
- Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.67 posts per day across the measured window.
