I don’t have this problem on Primal. It has happened multiple times after a reinstall of Damus.

yes, that means it’s working, I checked primal and everything is there, just looking for ways we can improve clients for when this happens again
That’s because Primal caches everything centrally on their servers. Good for user experience. But just susceptible to deletion without your control if that’s the only place you rely on for accessing it.
