When I click to view the users who have liked or shared a post, the list appears empty. However, the counter clearly shows that there are several interactions (likes or shares) on the post.

This suggests a discrepancy between the displayed count and the actual list of users retrieved.

The counter comes from the post itself, but most instances (Mastodon, GoToSocial) don't expose the list of users who liked or shared a post in their ActivityPub collections, only totalItems is returned for privacy reasons.
When local data is available (interactions received via the inbox), the list now shows instantly with a message explaining the limitation otherwise.
