View counts (also called impressions on some platforms) are not reported uniformly across social platforms. Each platform has its own rules for what data it exposes through its API.
Jump to the platform you're asking about:
- Facebook — why views need 100+ Page followers
- Instagram — why views are missing on feed photos
- Pinterest — why new Pins don't show views for 1–2 days
- LinkedIn, Bluesky, X — platforms that don't report views

"—" vs "0"
A dash (—) means solnk couldn't retrieve view data for that post (see reasons above). A zero (0) means the platform confirmed the post was seen zero times. They're different.
