How to read these results
Engagements are likes, comments and shares. Views are reported by each platform and do not represent unique reach. Per-view engagement rates use only posts that report views. Audience changes use the available follower history.
- Follower growth covers 4 of 5 channels (the rest lack follower history for this period).
- 45 posts on shared channels were left out because we didn't publish them.
- Our publishing log for Instagram and Facebook starts inside the comparison period, so posts before it are counted whoever published them.
- The results period runs through the last few days; the newest posts are still collecting engagement.
