A typical post picks up 87 interactions against 2.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 980 original posts, its engagement rate beats 22% 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 3.8K times each, and 2.27% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.162% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 34.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 980 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.0K interactions, about 34x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #voteeff2026, #victoryordeath, #iamvotingeff.

Compared with accounts its own size

Economic Freedom Fighters's engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 70% 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 0.004%, Economic Freedom Fighters sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,078 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 212,078 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,460 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 Tuesday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 12:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 98% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 4% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 332 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 87 interactions against 2.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 980 original posts, its engagement rate beats 22% 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 3.8K times each, and 2.27% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.162% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 34.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 980 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.0K interactions, about 34x its own typical post.

What is Economic Freedom Fighters's engagement rate on X?
Economic Freedom Fighters (@EFFSouthAfrica) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 980 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,373,168 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.004%, Economic Freedom Fighters sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,078 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 @EFFSouthAfrica have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @EFFSouthAfrica post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 34.2 posts per day across the measured window.
