Probably a down relay
Okay so on this note, RUN your own private relay to store all your account info so this doesnt happen. But what can happen is if a relay that is actively hosting your profile goes down is you lose whatever data is hosted on it. That can include everything on your profile, even your photos and etc.
relay offline - dnot imact profile data
content - notes/replies can only be retried if any reachable relay have them inclu users private backup relay if any
Yah but how up to date a relays information is depends. So can lose data still if a major relay hosting most of your content goes down. Also say if you leave a relay that has data and choose not to use it anymore/get banned you wont risk losing what was on that relay. Correct me if I am wrong but I know relays can remove, filter, or totally censor certain things.
there is no relation between "RELAY LIST" and "DATA RETENTION" - relay can ONLINE may have cleanup remove data DB file once a year. nostr relays are TX/RX NOT for ARCHIVE - that u need ur private/public relay whoever post there DB grows - user backup n retain themselves
That's is exactly my thoughts. So you can lose data if you do not run your own private relay...
Same thing happened to me! And I was really interested in seeing what some of those had to say. Now I can’t remember who it would have been. Frustrating
