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 436 interactions against 755K followers, an engagement rate of 0.058%. Posts are seen about 24K times each, and 1.79% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.6K interactions, about 8.2x 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. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,071 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,527 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 19:00 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.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 436 interactions against 755K followers, an engagement rate of 0.058%. Posts are seen about 24K times each, and 1.79% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.6K interactions, about 8.2x 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. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

What is Foster The People's engagement rate on X?
Foster The People (@fosterthepeople) has an engagement rate of 0.058%, based on the median interactions across 4 original posts from the last 30 days against 754,910 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.058%, Foster The People sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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.
