Question
How does someone lose 200 followers on nostr over night?
Is it something to do with the relays?
Not that it's relevant but it's not a great look for people who are newer to nostr
Anyone who's tried to build a community online before knows how challenging it is to gain those back

sometimes yes and sometimes client based. many of us have had this happen. i lost my entire follow list with iris once
Same
If you are using a relay set app such as Damus, if you remove a relay or few from your list your follower count will reduce.
Conversely, if you add a few new relays your follower count will increase.
This is a differentiator va twitter due to nostr’s non-centralized nature.
Unfollow me. I don't check statistics. I've also no experience in trying to build a community on any social platform, centealized or otherwise.
My ego is just conversing with my id through notes.
That being said follow nostr:nprofile1qqs8cajagp7n48275ytuhzuxn93g2crc0lqgfgx8dta2gjdlh5fpmpqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7xsykzv. I do. Because he's not a huge prick. Like me.
I noticed that also. Last I checked I had 3,100 ish followers and then over night 2,900 ish. Idk 🤷♂️
Yea, usually has to do with relays. If your followers see you through a relay that is down, then you can’t see that they are following you.
Also, client to client can be different depending on how they do things, also once again the relays that app is using.
… I think 🤷🏽♂️
relays, sync state between them, alpha tech and probably 20 more reasons. Follower count on nostr should be ignored. As meaningless as rigged trending widgets in some of the nostr apps.
