Aaron Parecki has a good example of a photo post with responses from Twitter (via Bridgy), and various Mastodon profiles on different servers: https://aaronparecki.com/2019/01/11/28/

History

There was some discussion to get rough consensus around what to call the set of things that is replies/comments, reposts/reshares, likes/favorites. This resulted in deciding on the term "responses" as well as "reactions".
