Numbers you’ll see

After a post goes live, its numbers show up in Results, with the reason when a network keeps one to itself.

Views, likes, replies, reposts, quotes and shares on each post, plus followers. Threads is still reviewing Welder, so until it approves, it may ask for a permission instead.
