depending on your client and what relays you use, your follower count will be different or out of date/behind/etc... Have not got it all figured out, but that seems to be the case.

Unfortunately that’s not the case. I checked on various clients and I use good, paid relays.
HAH! Shit. Back to the drawing board. Although I am guessing paid relays have less coverage? Or are they actively aggregating?
I use both and Damus/Snort sort out the duplicates for me.
The paid relays are really different, some providing spam filtering, some aggregators, some both and more.
But from what I see, I have pretty good coverage… but maybe the people who I follow don’t 🤷
