BoQsc also Flarum shows that there are two posts even before I wrote the post I'm writing right now
Yep "edited" and "locked" messages count as posts ?
Regarding your original issue, this probably means there's been an issue with the icon copy step. Do you have an /assets/fonts folder in your Flarum directory ?
If you do have that folder (with files in it), this must be an issue with your webserver config.
If you don't have that folder, you can fix this by copying /vendor/components/font-awesome/fonts to /assets/fonts manually.
