@contrapunctus think ive mentioned it before on how this plus the pleroma <-> masto communication leads to a bare feeling of emptiness on posts that might be viral but appear with three reposts on my timeline

An instance might not be aware of all accounts (users), that "starred" a post.
Btw. In #ActivityPub it is a like activity, that is sent to the instance, that hosts the post.
@nick Thanks for the information. But I don't really understand.
It's clearly possible to get an accurate count of likes. Why isn't that shown by default?
And if the "estimate" like count is so drastically off, why is it shown at all?
And if the app has fetched the accurate like count once, why isn't it shown instead of the imprecise estimate?
