Jeff Geerling engagement report
@geerlingguy - 95K followers on X
Measured over 29 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 654 interactions against 95K followers, an engagement rate of 0.692%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 84% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 33K times each, and 1.96% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 35.1% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 76% carry an image or video, 17% are part of a thread and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 20K interactions, about 31x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #stlwx, #apple, #arm64.

Compared with accounts its own size
Jeff Geerling's engagement rate beats 84% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 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 65% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

Is there any application that updates as frequently as Discord? I thought it was Electron, what are they even doing downloading '10+' updates every time I relaunch it?

A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure. So now I have three GNSS PPS watches. And I can measure UTC to within 20-40ns. Just need my entire forearm. Not done yet: portable rubidium atomic clock for holdover. https://t.co/hvSOb8mYmM

Today I test the $699 Dell XPS 13, and see how it compares to the MacBook Neo. I didn't realize it would have a more efficient CPU, upgradeable storage, or run Linux as well as it did... It's not flawless, but it's a good budget laptop. Video here: https://t.co/A2AEiHo0U1 https://t.co/Irconie4OM

The Steam Deck LCD panel is available cheap (ca $30), but until now there hasn't been a way to use it with a Raspberry Pi. Luckily, the folks at Scandent open sourced a HAT design and kernel driver for it! See it in action in today's L2J video: https://t.co/Cl7UE8Qk2D https://t.co/SglNOL3aWo

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.
