I haven’t been here much but something nuked my follows.. again.
What is going on? What’s the best way to recover it?
Discussion
Hi Alex, how are you? It’s been a while🫂💜
Best way to recover follows ask nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s #asknostr
None of the options work without manual backups and/or payment. Users should not have to pay or manually deal with contact list restores because their client has bugged out.
I know one that works though :)
Yours has not worked for me in the past. I can't recommend one that I haven't used or one that I have not had success with. Every single one I recommend has worked for me and countless others though.
Well I can’t help you with this supposed issue if you didn’t reach out when it happened.
The correct configuration also requires you have hist.nostr.land in your list which you don’t.
While there is a best-effort attempt at syncing lists it is not guaranteed unless you write directly due to the nature of Nostr.
try metadata.nostr.com
I guess I'd have to rebuild it first then back-up.
Sup AK. I wouldn’t be surprised if https://metadata.nostr.com has a backup. It saved me a few times back in the day. Keep us posted. 🤙
this worked for me
nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp built a tool that archives follow lists iirc
Log in with Nostur
Probably screwed unless you created a follower / profile backup or have the hist.nostr.land relay in your app settings.
You could try a different client to see they still cached their own profile, then edit it which would push the change across your relays. But that's a tiny chance.
For the future
Or. Just keep posting and things will work out.
Is nostr:nprofile1qqsfeeclz5rvea9enu354aym6cszh6yr4q8etg24cm56rsm06lncp3cpzemhxue69uhkzem8wghxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcx9atap back 👀 .. For real tho 😆?
Does https://follows.nostr.com/ help?
Nostur is a great client to recover follows, but only if you used it before your follows got nuked.
The relay wss://hist.nostr.land/ is a good relay to add to keep a backup of your followers, which you can then recover here:
Experienced that last week too. Missing you and your stunning posts! 🩷
Likewise, Evelin. Just been holidaying. Digital and other means. 🫂 Hope you're having a wonderful summer.
Thank you, my beloveds.
At least one of the solutions worked.. or all of them. I can't tell, I just tried them all.
AK, I've missed you way too much for a man twice your age, where have you been? Why you no love us 😥
Glad to have you back...you've been missed!
Though this has been resolved, is being "decentralised" the root cause of why follows get nuked for having done nothing to cause it?
This probably shouldn't be happening. Or is the community going to continue to come up with 5 temporary solutions for every issue?
nostur!
