As far as I'm aware, it's a limitation of ActivityPub and there's no way to fix it on either the user's or admin's side. Unless the post is local to my instance, I find it best to open the source and view it from there if I'm curious about the stats. From my Pleroma account, I see 5 repeats and only 1 favourite, while from Misskey, I see 7 renotes and two reactions.
> Is there a way to force update a post for this instance? I could have sworn there was. I know you can force-federate a remote post but I think that's only if the local instance hasn't encountered it before. It's been a while since I ran Mastodon so something might have been added, but it would still be a manual process admins would have to do for every post. If it was user-facing, the feature could easily be taken advantage of and used to DOS other instances.

Triggered!!! 😄 MANY moons ago I had to code the monthly employee newsletter and then print it to one of three shared printers in another part of the building. Who knew those end brackets were so important? I was the Queen of Stack Dumps. IT had me on speed dial.
