Subnostr

Are the relays that I choose associated with my nostr account or the particular client I am using? I am an old man, still learning. Every time I try a new client, it seems to attach to a different set of relays, and my profile, “following, followers and posts” appear different. I can understand how this might provide an advantage, but I don’t know whether this is intentional.

Relays are associated with your Nostr account. Which clients are you using?

Follows (people you follow) count will be the same 99% of the time irrespective of client.

But follower count can't be accurately measured on Nostr - there will be some variation across clientd

This has not been my experience. I have used Primal Web, Primal iOS App, Nostur iOS app, Damus iOS and macOS app, and Iris Web

There's a remote chance that one of the apps didn't read your relays properly.

Primal is an exception - it uses a caching system for reading notes, so it ignores your relay list for getting notes. But what notes you see on Damus, Nostur & Iris on your home (i.e. Following Feed) should be the same.
