A typical post picks up 13 interactions against 316K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 15% of 21,185 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 4.2K times each, and 0.313% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 33 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 14, 2026.
