Measured over 56 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 11, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 42 interactions against 194K followers, an engagement rate of 0.022%. Measured over 56 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 21,185 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 3.7K times each, and 1.14% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.92% 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 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 56 posts sampled, 46% carry an image or video and 54% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.9K interactions, about 140x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Sinn Féin's engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 46% 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 0.022%, Sinn Féin sits above the 10th percentile of the 213,098 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

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

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 46% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 54% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 46% 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.
- 54% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 245 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

Today, the leaders of Sinn Féin, the SNP and Plaid Cymru came together to sign a joint agreement to work towards independence. For the first time in history, three nationalist and pro-independence First Ministers now hold office. This is a historic moment and testament to the enormous change, hope and opportunity of the times we are living through.

The DUP is engulfed in scandal. MPs under investigation. Their former leader convicted of child sexual offences. Attempts to revive Drumcree and stir up culture wars are no coincidence. Dictated by Jim Allister and Jamie Bryson, it’s distraction politics, plain and simple. And the public see right through it.

Robert Hamill was kicked to death by a loyalist mob simply because he was a Catholic. The RUC failed Robert and his family and deliberately obstructed the investigation. This happened amid the toxic sectarianism surrounding Drumcree. Those facts cannot be sanitised or forgotten. The people of Portadown have had 28 years of peace and that is what must be protected.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 42 interactions against 194K followers, an engagement rate of 0.022%. Measured over 56 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 21,185 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 3.7K times each, and 1.14% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Sinn Féin's engagement rate on X?
- Sinn Féin (@sinnfeinireland) has an engagement rate of 0.022%, based on the median interactions across 56 original posts from the last 30 days against 193,940 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.022%, Sinn Féin sits above the 10th percentile of the 213,098 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 @sinnfeinireland have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @sinnfeinireland post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.53 posts per day across the measured window.
