Also, as part of this, would be a pretty big change to how the expanded tally lists look. They currently look like this (the "2 people reshared this" and "8 people attend" are expanded):

And this is how the expanded lists would look with my changes:

Regardless of the actual tally there is a hard limit, it will only show a maximum of 74 accounts in the expanded list. This is what that looks like:

Which looks pretty terrible IMO. And here's how that would look with my changes:

It's set to expand to show a maximum of 20 items before it adds an overflow scrollbar. Over on Facebook when you mouse over the tally for "Likes" (for example) it will show a pop-up list with up to 19 names and then add "and xxx more..." (for a max of 20 entries) so I coded mine to put "and others..." after the last entry (I can't actually get the number of additional entries not being shown to style it. It doesn't matter because it's rarely accurate to the total count on the button you click to expand the list anyway).

Over on Facebook if you click the tally number it opens a modal dialog that will show you a list of ALL the people. Friendica doesn't have a modal like that, which is why I just made the expanding list scroll to show you the max number of people it will show (which is 74 + the notice that there are more = 75 entries).
