The study investigates how the timing and type of posts influence public responses.
Aims to enhance online community engagement for public media against commercial competitors.
Findings may guide Facebook page moderators in developing strategies to boost user interaction.

Content and Format of Posts

Posts containing images significantly increase likes, comments, emoticons, and shares compared to text-only posts.
Text-only posts tend to receive fewer comments and shares, indicating a lack of motivation for users to provide deeper engagement.
Users prefer simple reactions (likes, hearts, emoticons) when posts consist of only text, as these require less cognitive effort.

Impact of Visual Content

Visual content plays a crucial role in engaging users, as posts with images enhance public interaction and user reactions.
The presence of photos is linked to stronger emotional responses and increased likelihood of user engagement.
Positive engagement is highest early in the week, with a decline in reactions as the week progresses due to increasing user workloads.

Post Timing and Weekly Patterns

User engagement varies by day, with heightened reactions at the beginning of the week and reduced activity towards Fridays.
Existing research shows discrepancies in expected engagement patterns depending on the industry and type of content.

Recommendations for Public Media

Public media should focus on posting image-heavy content to attract user attention and encourage interaction.
Engaging users through visual elements can bolster the overall effectiveness of public media's digital strategies.
Continuous adaptation of posting strategies, based on user engagement analytics, may improve public mission delivery and financial sustainability.

Conclusion

Understanding and leveraging the type and timing of social media posts can substantially enhance engagement levels within online communities.
By prioritizing engaging formats and timing, public media can better fulfill their mission and achieve higher user engagement.
