Just a random observation. I noticed that follower counts on both nostrum.pro and nostr.io have both been cut by roughly half for everyone on the top followers list. This lines up with my own followers count being displayed here on Snort.

im 5 years old. enlighten me.
Follower counts are kind of a shitty metric here on Nostr, since they will always return different numbers based on the speed at which relays respond. That said, I do watch them on the daily to gauge or at least try to gauge a general rate of adoption. The past couple of days multiple places showed follower counts cut in half. I don't know why. It's just an observation.
Got it serr. Im observing too π

The update for NostrGram in testing now restores full follower counts now that it's pulling from a db with the entire Nostr history from all known relays.
that would fix it for NostrGram / Nostrum.pro but why would nostr.io as well as Short be showing these differences too? it's an odd coincidence.
