X / Twitter

Section: Social platforms and channels · twi

For X/Twitter, the project stores profile scale, publishing activity, and view-based rate pairs. Median ER/SR helps separate quality from raw posting volume.

What this page includes

A metric table, worked examples, and short platform-specific notes.

How to read the examples

All numbers are illustrative. They are here to explain the formula, not to describe a specific account.

Which metrics this page shows

Metric Key Type How to read it
Subscribers twi_count Count A direct count without extra recalculation.
Following twi_follow Count A direct count without extra recalculation.
Posts twi_statuses Count A direct count without extra recalculation.
Publication rate twi_ppd Posting rate How many publications come out per day on average within the selected period.
LR (by views) twi_like_rate_by_views Percent Share of likes relative to views.
IR (by views) twi_interaction_rate_by_views Percent Share of all reactions relative to views: (likes + comments + shares) / views * 100.
ER (med.) twi_median_ER Percent Typical ER across publications.

Example: PPD and rate-pair calculation

A sample scenario. The numbers below are only meant to show the formula and the order of calculation.

Inputs

  • Period: 28 days
  • Publications: 22
  • Views: 190 000
  • Likes: 9 800
  • Comments: 540
  • Shares: 760
  • Audience: 145 000

Calculation steps

  1. Publication rate
    22 / 28
    = 0.79 posts/day
  2. Actions sum
    9 800 + 540 + 760
    = 11 100 actions
  3. LR (by views)
    9 800 / 190 000 * 100
    = 5.16%
  4. IR (by views)
    11 100 / 190 000 * 100
    = 5.84%
  5. LR (by followers)
    9 800 / 145 000 * 100
    = 6.76%
  6. ER (by followers)
    11 100 / 145 000 * 100
    = 7.66%

If views or audience data are missing, these metrics stay empty.

Example: median calculation

A median shows the typical value per publication. If the data is missing, dstat leaves the field empty instead of inventing a zero.

  • Value set: 2.40, 2.90, 3.30, 4.10, 5.80
  1. ER (med.)
    median([2.40, 2.90, 3.30, 4.10, 5.80])
    = 3.30%

If there are no valid values, the page shows an empty field rather than an artificial zero.

Platform-specific nuances

  • twi_statuses and twi_follow belong to profile scale rather than post quality in the period.
  • twi_median_ER and twi_median_SR should be read as typical values per publication.
  • If similar metrics appear, choose the one with the clearer denominator: views or audience.
