A typical post picks up 147 interactions against 877K followers, an engagement rate of 0.017%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 17K times each, and 0.865% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.94% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 41% carry an image or video and 11% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.2K interactions, about 28x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #mtn8, #betwayprem, #neverstoprising.

Compared with accounts its own size

Thomas Mlambo's engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 47% 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.

At 0.017%, Thomas Mlambo sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,960 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,518 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Ndlovu is a ball of energy. The pace of not just his runs but also his decision making is frightening. With these quality Downs players around him, it's just havoc when he gets on the ball

What is Thomas Mlambo's engagement rate on X?
Thomas Mlambo (@thomasmlambo) has an engagement rate of 0.017%, based on the median interactions across 37 original posts from the last 30 days against 876,627 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.017%, Thomas Mlambo sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,960 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 @thomasmlambo have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range 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 @thomasmlambo post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.5 posts per day across the measured window.
