There is nothing at all being copied but an aesthetic.
Although to me it is interesting that, even without literal copying, a generator might be capable of potentially emulating some key features of a specified source. Can this sometimes arguably extend beyond just “an aesthetic”? We’ve all seen examples similar to this one (from the SD online demo, default setting, with a familiar public-domain source) — https://i.imgur.com/PUJs3RL.png
Although they differ from Twitter Likes, note that Mastodon Favorites are not private. For an example, I’ll refer to one of your toots:
https://mastodon.social/@justhach/110696151311920356
Viewing it in the Mastodon web interface, I see an indication that 2 people marked it as a Favorite. I can then click to see those 2 usernames, listed here:
https://mastodon.social/@justhach/110696151311920356/favourites
Such listings are limited though. For example, I’m viewing a toot that you boosted, and I see an indication that it has been marked as a Favorite by 816 users; but when I click to view their names, I see only 40 of them listed.

Arguably reddit isn’t even mainstream …
… with just 0.91% of US social media visits this year in March this year, if this isn’t wrong:

FB 53.09%, Twit 16.25%, IG 13.85%, …, Reddit 0.91% …

Thanks for a reminder that I should look into userscripts for kbin. — For now, I’m using the Stylus extension (in desktop Firefox & Chrome) to apply custom CSS. Nothing fancy yet, just simple overrides to remove some margins and padding to make the “compact” view more compact.
… for years and nobody complained …
FWIW, there was a complaint about Google Books
(long ago resolved). Historical interest only.

I haven’t yet delved into the kbinStyles offerings.
On my Windows laptop, I’m using the Stylus extension with Firefox or Chrome, to apply quick-and-dirty sloppy CSS like:
article, article * {
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
article {
border-top: 1px dotted gray !important;
}
Someone on kbinStyles should have something MUCH better. I haven’t yet tried anything from there, but I see titles like: “…replicate old reddit on kbin”. Look into things like that. — https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles
Note: I also select the Compact view (in the view menu which is found via one of the buttons in the magazine header).
As a newcomer, I’ve visited 3 Lemmy sites: Beehaw. Lemmy.world, and a custom instance. I noticed that they each have page footers that contain: Join Lemmy. If the same is true of many Lemmy instances, I can add Lemmy (or, with quotation marks, “Join Lemmy”) in a Google query. — (Note: Top matches might not always be best matches on the originating instance, or sometimes the best matches might be hidden until I click “repeat the search with the omitted results included.” And of course sometimes I won’t get any match because the target hasn’t been indexed by Google.)
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
You can consider using Stonecrusher’s “simpleMenuWizard” to apply custom CSS to hide a menu item. (Disclaimers: I’m not affiliated with the developer, and I haven’t used this myself.)
https://github.com/stonecrusher/simpleMenuWizard
The simpleMenuWizard “link-context.css” file contains a commented list of the IDs of most of the menuitem elements of link context menus.
https://github.com/stonecrusher/simpleMenuWizard/blob/master/simpleMenuWizard/link-context.css
As listed there, the “Copy Link” menuitem element’s ID is “context-copylink”. If you want to hide that menu item, you would uncomment that line in the list (by removing the ‘/*’ at the beginning of the line) as described in Step 5 of the simpleMenuWizard instructions.
At the time when I’m writing this reply, the aforementioned list hasn’t yet been updated to include the “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” menuitem’s ID. If you want to hide that menu item, sorry I can’t check its ID for you right now, but here’s how you can find it:
Enable and open the Browser Toolbox.
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/browser_toolbox/
In the Browser Toolbox, click its 3-dots icon to get an options menu. Click “Disable popup auto-hide”, to make context menus persistent. Invoke a context menu on a link (the menu should persist). Use the toolbox inspector’s element picker to pick the menu item that you want to hide. Then you can find that menuitem element’s “id” attribute in the inspector. (Open the 3-dots menu again and click “Disable popup auto-hide” again to re-enable auto-hide.)
