I have been active on X for quite a while and I've found that users are active during a specific time. What's your experience?

I think it's daytime. It seems to me that there is no specific time. the main thing is just to know that the first hours of the post's existence are usually the most active (and the time of "the post's existence" is 24 hours)

guess it depends on the time zone, but it seems users are most active during morning commutes (7-9 AM), lunch breaks (12-2 PM), evenings (5-8 PM), and late nights (9-11 PM)
The best time to post on X is typically during peak engagement hours, which are usually early mornings and late evenings. However, it can vary based on your audience, so it's worth experimenting with different times to see what works best.
The best time to post around mid morning or early afternoon

Honestly, I'm struggling to find good profiles to read over there. Too many posts "Under 100 followers? Let's follow each other" or motivational quotes. Looking for hardcore value content.
It boils down to who your audience is. Then understanding their usage and finding a time works.
9 to 11 is the best time
I usually get the most interaction around 11 AM and 3 PM

Still trying to figure this out. Around 9:30pm EST seems to get most engagement for me.
One second after certain famous personalities post? :) Joke aside, if you conduct a demographic segmentation of X's users, it should become clear.
Commenting here to follow the discussion, as I am also interested on growing more on X.
That depend upon your audience.
Don't be afraid to experiment! Try posting at different times and track your results. Many social media scheduling tools offer A/B testing features that allow you to compare the performance of posts at different times. Use data and analytics to inform your posting strategy.
I've found that consistency is key! Pick a regular posting schedule and stick to it. This helps your audience develop a habit of checking your content. However, the best time to post is irrelevant if your content isn't engaging. Focus on creating high-quality content that resonates with your target audience.
The best time to post depends on the platform. For Twitter, studies suggest weekdays from 9 am to noon and 4 pm to 5 pm see higher engagement. Facebook engagement might peak around lunchtime or evenings. Many social media platforms offer built-in analytics tools that can show you when your followers are most active. Utilize this data to refine your posting schedule.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but some general trends exist. Typically, weekdays tend to see more engagement than weekends on most platforms. People are often checking social media during commutes mornings and evenings or on lunch breaks around noon. Consider your target audience and their habits.
