For the most part I appreciate the design decision that the #mastodon developers made to not show reply/boost/fave numbers on the feed lists, because it puts more focus on the content and less on gaming an algorithm for popularity or "engagement".
(SORRY, LOST IMAGE)
but I also realize that this makes it harder to know if there are responses! For example, this post by Jun on #playviscious actually has an interesting thread that I'm learning from, but nothing in the UI signifies that there is more content to find connected to the post.
I wonder if there could be an additional affordance in the #UI that there are replies (boosts and faves not so much)?
