Slightly offtopic:

When I go to the source in my browser, I see that this toot has been boosted roughly 800 times and roughly 1400 favorites.

However, when I go to this toot via my Mastodon app, I'm seeing 256 boosts and 1 favourite.

Why is this different in my app vs the fosstodon link to the toot?

Maybe the instance you’re logged into on your Mastodon app defederated from some others? Hmm

similar boat here: what I’ve noticed is that, on your instance, 'foreign' toots will only show the favourites coming from your instance. So, if 3 people from your instance favourited a toot that has 1500 favs total, you will only see 3 next to the star

this isn’t true for boosts, and I don’t know what causes the difference there. Its probably something to do with an incomplete federation (either because of blocks or simply because your server isn’t aware of all the others; I’ve noticed that the difference is much larger now that I’m on a smaller instance with less connections), but I’m not sure

for toots coming from other people on your instance, you will see the full count on both favs and boosts
