Something strange is going on with nostr.band follower count 😅

I knew follower count on #nostr is unreliable but nostr.band is counting 3x any other client. Is that happening to more people?

Is it because nostr.band is counting bots that other clients are not counting? Or what could be the reasons for this? 🧐

For me it’s 25% more than primal‘s

Weird right? 🧐

It‘s probably just a different filter for spammers and inactive accounts.

Makes sense. Thanks 💜🤙

It's always been that way. Npub.world is another option that tries to remove bots, etc.

Thanks! 💜🤙

You know of any #nostr client that allows you to view which followers are which? Or like your general analytics and metrics?

People you’ve zapped the most, and viceversa?

Cool! Thanks!

Nostr.band leverages their aggregator relay to try and find ALL notes on all relays, and probably isn't doing any filtering of kind 3 follow lists. This means they will always display a higher follower count than a client that looks at only a subset of relays.

My count there is definitely higher there, but only by about 25%.
