We do not return all the likes when requesting the post, only when requesting the likes connection. You need to make a call to /postid/likes

When trying to retrieve the list of users who like a post, not all of them are returned: specifically, max 4 users (the latest users who liked the post?) are returned, even though the related count attribute clarifies there are more.
Is this a bug or intended behaviour? if intended, why, and is there any alternative to get the full info?

| Steps to Reproduce: | Try to get the list of users liking a post on a user's feed (use the ID in the "Related IDs field"): HTTP GET https://graph.facebook.com/POST_ID?fields=likes&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN |
|---|---|
| Expected Behavior: | At the time of writing, the post has 7 likes (as the "count" attribute says), so the "data" array should contain 7 users. |
| Actual Behavior: | Only 4 users are returned in the "data" array, and only 4 will keep on appearing there even when more users like the post. |
| API/SDK: | Graph API |
