They are a "list" in the UI. The client gathers the events together and builds a list for the display, just as it does with your followers, but with much less inconsistency because you regularly write to the same relays.

"followers" is a mess because the event is wherever _they_ write to, and you might not be reading from there.

I mean, you could actually keep all of these events on a private relay or use the private version of the events.

So like this'd be fine?

(I don't like lying 🙈 )

I like it. It's more intuitive because you could probably click on "271 Profiles" and see a list. You can't "see" a category. That's a descriptor, not a thing.

What this UI does is use your categories to produce lists at runtime. The categories can also be used to do completely other things, but here it's just building lists.

KWIM? Like, if you go here, you see the list of my followers. You do not see the "category" followers.

Geez. That follower list exploded, so fast. Good grief. It was like 40 people, on Monday. 🤣

I don't think there are any spambots, either. I think those are real npubs.

Approaching 400, already. 👀
