#research

The most viral posts using #research across TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook and Pinterest — ranked by real engagement tracked by ViralHunt.

2Kposts tracked
13.2Mtotal engagement
9networks

We track 2048 posts using #research across 9 networks, carrying 13.2M engagement between them — an average of 6.5K per post.

It is used most on Bluesky: 1415 of the 2048 posts we hold, 69% of the total.

Where it performs hardest per post, though, is TikTok, averaging 122.8K — so the tag is posted most in one place and lands best in another, which is exactly the difference worth knowing before choosing where to use it.

Ranking comes from the posts themselves rather than from how often the tag appears, and it is recalculated as new posts are collected. How we measure this →
