Apparently, bug can happen when you switch between nostr clients.

Example: I use snort and Amethyst, but when Iogged in to Iris, accounts I follow got nuked. Anyway, Iris has a nice feature to follow all accounts, others Nostriches are following.

Makes it easy to recover!

Thanks, yeah I'm thinking that may be it. Had a few clients open simultaneously.

Iris definitely saved my bacon with the follow-all function. It's not exactly the same list I had before, but close enough since the network is still relatively small.

Any idea where that bug exists? Is it a collision issue with relay software?

I think, Iris has a filter to show you only notes from people you know, or someone in your network knows. Actually, a nice Spam filter! Therefore, the profile follower numbers can be different to other clients. But it seems like, this feature can cause trouble, when you switch the client and come back to #[5] ?
