My understanding is that favorites are equivalent to twitter likes, and boosts are equivalent to twitter retweets, but on twitter people like way more then they retweet, so why is it different on mastodon?

So, does this also apply to kbin/lemmy?
If a post from lemmy.world shows up on my kbin feed and it has only 30 likes, but on lemmy.world it has 1k likes, I’ll never get to experience the real “popularity” of a post?
I’m not entirely sure and I could be wrong, but I think it was for security/efficiency and was not a popular idea. From what I can gather: in Lemmy all upvotes and downvotes are tied directly to the post so it shouldn’t be an issue here
