I'm still a fediverse baby and I am testing various fediverse platforms and accounts. Recently I tried to search my own pixelfed.social account from gram.social and was surprises that I see 2 photos from 7 on my profile. I see not likes count.

Why such inconsistencies? If pixelfed and gram shall communicate with protocol, why not everything is visible? That can give a user a false information because such searched account looks unused/abandoned.

I don't know whether people think this is a good or bad thing to do, but I follow each of my fediverse accounts from all of my other fediverse accounts. Like, I follow my Pixelfed account from my WAFRN account and vice versa, etc etc. Not trying to inflate my followers count at all, I wish it wouldn't, but just to avoid this very problem. So unless it's breaking some kind of fedi norm, I'd suggest to do that.
