Timeline Deliveries represent the total possible number of times someone could have viewed a particular tweet/post. Reach is the number of unique followers who received a timeline delivery of at least one tweet/post regarding a particular hashtag. So, for example, if two tweets are sent by the same person including the same hashtag, then for that hashtag Timeline Deliveries = 2 times Reach.
