i've always watched my follower counts on nostr.band. the day that primal launched follower counts, i they immediately had me at 80K+ when nostr.band had me around 12K or so. i spoke with nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr at Nostrica about this and he seems to think that the numbers are not incorrect. 🤷‍♂️

in the grand scheme of things, follower counts don't mean all that much. it's a nice metric to watch to see more users using nostr if you've been here for a while, are constantly posting, then you know that your reach and range of engagement is growing.
