Not OP, but several have done it to me. Often because the new client hasn’t pulled all my stuff yet, so if I edit it in another client and click save, it’s overwriting my list.

99% of my issues went away when I started only using one client to make relay list changes, and only used other clients for viewing/interacting.

yes i never have any of these issues, I never let other clients touch my contact list.

Yep. It can be as simple as the new client hasn’t gotten the lists cached yet, or the default relay set for the client doesn’t include one with my list.

Some of this might be alleviated by allowing users to make temporary changes to their relay list in clients, without saving them as an event.

That way, i open new client X, temporarily add TheSameCat relay, and know the client can find my real lists.

Not sure how to make that a good UX though.

Yeah, Coracle used to do this but it's mostly fixed since I wait for a relay/contact list when logging in. It is still possible to not find them though.

Same started using my test account for other clients and my main on Damus..no issues

Good advice, tnx 👍

It happened to me after my first month here on #nostr. I started in June, btw. I used to edit relays on one client only. One day I started editing them on other clients and views suddenly changed from less than a hundred to less than 5, like literally! So I went back to doing it on one client only, again, and it's starting to pick up now
