#asknostr why is it that when I use a different nostr app it shows different follower numbers than, say, primal ?

Relays
Glad to hear you second my own supposition. It is odd though. It means I'm followed on mobile but not on the web :)
Follower numbers don’t matter, that’s a twitter fiat mindset. Quality over quantity!
I get what you're saying , but Ive actually never used twitter, I just wondered why different apps showed different numbers
Yeah, all the clients definitely show different stats and have different functionalities. I’m not all that up on the why’s and how’s. It sure is cool though how they’re similar but each is little different experience.
primal has a caching relay (so it is my guesstimate) that there is a delay from the actual data. njump.me also is a bit of delay. the most up to date data i always see from nostr.band but that is also dependent on what relays are public, i'm not sure if covers some of these more private relays, you'd have to ask nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy
that's ok Karrot, I will leave it as a mystery lol.
