My profile got nuked while trying to use nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft's Highlighter.com #nostr 😒😩

This comes just a couple of weeks after my follows were nuked. I know, backup your data, but it would be nice if client apps already automatically did this, or if there was a DVM one could subscribe to do this, or a dedicated relay specifically for this. Perhaps nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s's damusdb will do this, but I use Android so I don't Damus. Yet.

yeah, i wish there was easier ways, i now keep a backup in the form of my own relay, which i periodically, and currently manually, pull down relevant events from other relays and push to my test relay, which i then export to jsonl - currently my whole file is 20mb and compresses as tar.xz to 2.9mb (a lotta repeats of my and other pubkeys)

i can push that whole backup back onto my relay also, i haven't gone much further in this direction because it's a little orthogonal to my task of building a relay

oh i will say though... better to have less follows overall... thin them out to a nice set... someone really should make a simple follow backup tool though, it's easy to do, extremely easy if you can write nostr code

Nostrgram had a built-in backup tool, I'll have to see if that client is still functional... I know the developer disappeared from Nostr after building it (which just reminded me of Satoshi Nakamoto 😄)
