I'm still a fediverse baby and I am testing various fediverse platforms and accounts. Recently I tried to search my own pixelfed.social account from gram.social and was surprises that I see 2 photos from 7 on my profile. I see not likes count.

Why such inconsistencies? If pixelfed and gram shall communicate with protocol, why not everything is visible? That can give a user a false information because such searched account looks unused/abandoned.

Any new shares/reposts would show once the account was followed from the gram.social server. Anything prior to that you would have to view the account on the home instance.

Posts can also get synced if someone from gram.social searched for a direct link to a post. E.g. if you go to gram.social and search for https://pixelfed.social/p/pixuser/1234, it'll get synced in the background and show up if you follow @pixuser later on. (Depending on how long the instance caches it.)

Likes and Reshares of external posts are local to their instance. Those won't get sent to other instances. E.g. on my private GotoSocial I don't see the correct amount of likes or reshares of posts from other instances. I'll have to visit the posts on their original instance for that. (But then, I rarely care.)
