Misleading Like Counts on Creator Dashboard Updates Tab

I’m not sure if this is the right category.

The Creator Dashboard’s “Updates” tab is misleading.


It combines the likes of the main announcement and all its replies.

The dashboard shows 12.6K likes for an update. The actual post only got 35 likes.

The dashboard should only show the likes on the original post imo.

I agree.

It misleads users into believing 13 thousand people liked this change, while this obviously wasn’t the case but rather people in the replies disagreeing and people agreeing with the reply.

Not sure if this is intended, since for a normal user, it looks like the topic received that many likes in my opinion

it’s probably using the json representation of the post, which outputs like_count as a total of all likes on the post. for example, this post shows a like_count of two.

the fix would be to check the first post in the stream’s like count (post_stream.posts[0].actions_summary[0].count)
