Good to know. I'm paranoid of manipulating my follows with new clients and have been using Snort for that exclusively.

It should be straight forward to write a service that detects these loss-of follows events. If you are working on such a service, I would not consider it spam if you DM me with an offer. "Hey, could it be you just accidentally unfollowed nostr.build, Jeff, Peter and 150 more? Reply 'help' if you want us to help you out." It could offer a list of npubs or a tool to fully consolidate the follows list for different prices.

Someone created something to preserve follows nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft ? I haven’t used it..

kind3.xyz

Ok, that's .... a wild tool. So it copies your kind-3 to kind-30001 if you so choose and then lets you replace your list with other lists but you can also use it to backup your list to later restore it.

While that is great and lets me as a power user of nostr use other clients with more peace of mind after doing the backup, I was more thinking of a service that reaches out to those potentially noobs who screwed up - after all it's publicly available information. To track and archive who follows whom would allow much more than only offer to recover old follows. It would allow to detect trends in the network.

I wish I had the time and resources to throw an LLM at the problem. So much data to play with.

Who made this?
