A typical post picks up 27 interactions against 420K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 26% of 3,792 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 4.8K times each, and 0.564% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.14% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 49 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video, 16% are part of a thread and 41% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 184 interactions, about 6.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

World History Encyclopedia's engagement rate beats 26% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 36% 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 0.006%, World History Encyclopedia sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,759 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,759 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,964 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 12:00 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.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Recurring topics

#history#onthisday#ancienthistory#todayinhistory#historyhumour

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 27 interactions against 420K followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 26% of 3,792 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 4.8K times each, and 0.564% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

What is World History Encyclopedia's engagement rate on X?
World History Encyclopedia (@whencyclopedia) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 49 original posts from the last 30 days against 419,926 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.006%, World History Encyclopedia sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,759 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 @whencyclopedia have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 26% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 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 @whencyclopedia post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.37 posts per day across the measured window.
