We're still a pack my brother.
I am followimg you 😁
I'm sorry, that happened to me once
this is like my 5th time.
I do have a json back up file but cant remember which site or client to restore it with..
That's no fun
i am just following everyone who follows me now but have to do it one by one, unless there is a client that lets me click FOLLOW ALL like iris or snort...but when i go to that tab on iris or snort it only loads a small ports of the followers even though its over a thousand.
Yeah, that's not fun I know. Btw the new pleb animation is out on my profile. My favorite one.
Hey Plebs, we have a friend here who lost their follow list, he has a backup, does anyone know how to retore it?

What client causes that kind of an issue?
its not a client issue
you can read up about how it happens if you search but i dont have a resource off the top of my head at the moment
Fair enough, well if anyone else can tell me that'd be great coz if it's not a client issue it's out of my control and I'd like to be able to mitigate against it. On #Amethyst I don't even see an option for backing up my follow list which could be a pain.
The best way to mitigate WAS to use the back up file option. The site i used months ago was Nostrify and it let you save a back up of your follows as well as all your events.
They have since migrated to nostrsync.live but no longer have that feature that i remember for follows, so its just a back up file for events now.
This is another good tool I discovered today and was recommended by others: https://heguro.github.io/nostr-following-list-util/
here is one more: https://metadata.nostr.com/
These ones will take the existing data from browser database and rebroadcast it, so for it to work you have to visit somewhat regularly.
Cheers, I'll keep that list handy - I've backed up events using nostrsync previously and check out that new tool
