The only problem I’ve ever run into (I imagine due to switching) is that suddenly my followings gets completely erased 😭 thank goodness Nostur always allows me to restore them, but i don’t know why it happens πŸ€” I lose all the list I follow 🫠

So, generally it is because you update who you are following from a different client, and every time you add a new follower, the client SHOULD be taking your existing follows to include them in the new follow list, and just adding the new follow to that list, too. This is because relays only keep the most recent version of your follow list and discard the rest.

If a client instead creates a new follow list with just the person you recently tapped "follow" on it, then the relays will discard the previous list they had, replacing it with the new list with only 1 follow.

Dang πŸ˜… any way to back up those follows?

Oh I need to know this lol 🀣

Yes. Add wss://hist.nostr.land to your relays, then make some update to your follows by adding or removing a follow. Any time your follow list gets nuked, you can pop over to https://hist.nostr.land to restore it.

Damn bro thanks πŸ™πŸΌ
