In my limited nostr understanding this might be connected to the set of relays that you use. Some might go offline temporarily, some go offline forever. All the following events that were stored there and nowhere else are now lost.
Is my logic plausible? nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226 nostr:npub1794vv7hl7y6q2qw0y7m7h60rpphmvt5h7pzt5sr78z6assj6w0eqagwjhd
Thanks for your help. I am quite sure it does not have anything to do with relays, in my case. I was connected to the same relays, checked back and forth.
Now I have uploaded my old contact list using gossip (it can merge and push your contact list) and Damus still shows a higher number but still not the correct one.
There’s note kind 3 which contains your contact list. This kind is updated by relays which receive an update so should have the most up to date view if it was online when you last updated your following list. Followers works differently, it’s determined based on other users contact lists.
Strange your following list would fluctuate. 🤔
By updated by relays I mean it keeps your latest one, not all previous ones.
