The median LinkedIn post in June 2026 received 13 likes and 3 comments, a sharp decline from May's 20 likes and 6 comments. This continues a six-month downward trend that began at 24 median likes in January, representing a 46% drop in engagement over the period. The total volume of tracked posts also fell dramatically, from 28,035 in May to just 15,838 in June, suggesting either reduced creator activity or a significant shift in posting behavior during the early summer months.
The most striking format shift occurred with video posts, which dropped from 7.8% of all content in May to just 1.9% in June, while text-only posts surged from 26.7% to 39.6% of total volume. Image posts remained the dominant format at 57.5%, though carousels fell to just 1.0% of all posts. Despite their relative scarcity, video posts continued to outperform all other formats with a median of 55 likes versus 16 for images, 27 for carousels, and just 8 for text-only content.
Weekend posting showed notably stronger engagement, with Sunday posts achieving a median of 18 likes compared to Tuesday's low of 11 likes. The engagement rate distribution remained relatively stable, with the median post reaching 2.95% of its audience, while top performers in the 90th percentile achieved 7.15%. The threshold to reach the top 10% of posts by reactions rose slightly to 123 likes, though this remains well below the 236-like threshold observed in the previous reporting period.
Posts of 1600-2200 characters performed best this month (16 median reactions).
