FFS, I somehow lost all the people I was following on Nostr. Fucken how?
Discussion
I keep hearing about this happening with people. Is there a way to backup your follow list?
There used to be kind3.xyz but looks like that is down.
Looks like metadata.nostr.com will do the trick.
Does it need my nsec?
No. I logged in using nos2x.
Oh good idea. I was trying to do it on my phone thank you
On your phone, use Firefox or Kiwi Browser. Both have the ability to install the nos2x extension. The Firefox version is a fork, but works essentially the same as nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcqyqalp33lewf5vdq847t6te0wvnags0gs0mu72kz8938tn24wlfze673t7h9 's original.

Did your relay settings drop off?
Most likely you updated your follow list on a new client that didn't have your existing follow list.
When you follow/unfollow someone, a new follow list is created & signed by your client. Ordinarily that new follow list would include everyone you're already following.
