nice... followed 2 accounts in new tabs on Iris.to and it purged all the people I was following >400... 😠

Follow-list reset seems to happen with every client, that's scary 🙄
I think there's a way to backup and restore, can't remember where I saw that.
Maybe Snort or Nostrgram.
I hope that won't ruin your entire weekend ;)
NostrGram lets you restore your following list. Just go to your Profile page and click on the calendar icon in your profile box.
So when I did this it worked for for 138, but I was following 410ish prior to the loss. not sure why the others didn't appear but it's not a huge issue. 🤷
Oh wow. NostrGram pulls events from the 100 most popular relays so I'm surprised your previous contacts record wasn't in there.
Probably something I did on my end. I setup a local relay and think it may have interfered somehow since it had a good local connection to my client and everything else external was through a VPN. The feature you added is essential though, not sure if other clients have anything like that.

Do you confirm you need to input your private key into Nostrgram in order to restore your following list?
Trying to do it with Alby now, but impossible. Other functions work, but I still see the Login button, not my profile icon.
No you don't. You can use a Nip07 extension to login. Just click the Extension button on login. I use Alby and I've tested it with Nos2x.
I've been trying for one hour on up to date Firefox... it doesn't work :'/
Will try chromium.
FYI just tested with FireFox and Alby and worked fine. I'm replying to you from FireFox. Not sure what's up.
Exact same thing with Chromium.
I am authenticated. Alby works & I see my picture in the login box. Then I click ok.
But that's it... I cannot access my profile page. I still see the login key in the top left corner.
Works fine on Iris for example. Not Nostrgram for some reason. 🤔
Chromium and Firefox clean, brand new & clean. No other extension. Only Alby.
Same problem. Login icon doesn't change.
I can read my notifications & decrypted DMs, but that's it.
Can't even post a reply.
I had hopes... guess I'll rebuild my following list from zero 😔
Have a look if you have time, something must be broken...
Open the Developer Tools -> Console in Chrome when you login and see if it gives you any errors. The error will appear in red. 
Do you get an error? Also, try any Chromium based browser and see if that works (Chrome, Edge, Opera). I've tested on all of them too.
New tech=headaches 😂
