Is there is a bug from my end?

Ref post.

I noticed a huge difference between the post and what I see, which got me curious.

What is the reason?

My understanding is that it'd be based on what's been federated to your instance. Since ml has been around longer than most instances, a lot of their history never got federated.
- Blaze is on the same instance, but he show different numbers.
  
  It's not related to my instance.
  
  His screenshot is showing the user as seen from ml, unless I'm missing something.
  
  Blaze screenshot it at lemmy.ml.
Your language settings are probably hiding a lot of content. You need to enable any languages you speak and also enable undetermined
Shows me 950 posts, I'm guessing it only shows posts that your instance is Federated with?

  That's not a screenshot from their instance though. It's the direct user page in its home instance. See my other comment.
Seems to be on your side indeed

- Not to bother you, but do you have any idea what is happening?
  
  Like what could be at fault here?
  
  The number shown is how many posts or comments your instance is aware of. If your number is smaller than the real one, it means that there's content that doesn't exist on your instance.
  
  The missing content is either:
  
  Old: The account is like 3 or 4 years older tham your instance. Old content doesn't get federated unless someone deliberately asks for it.
  
  Posted in communities that no one at your instance has subscribed to them yet. This stuff also doesn't get auto-federated.
  
  Maybe they have posts to communities you have blocked?
