@BeAware @Karstan I'm curious about something.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer, not a programmer, but the OG post knows how many comments, likes, and retweets it has, right?

Like, you can't comment on a post without the original poster seeing it, right? Can the post keep track of how many various interactions it has, and report those numbers along with the content itself when a server requests the post?

Can the post's server tell the requesting server how many interactions the post has, so you can at least see the total number of replies even if you can't see all of them?
