Damn my follows got wiped again this time while using @primal while trying to follow someone. I have a backup how can I restore? #asknostr
And sadly no this is not an April Fool's joke I wish it was......

Oh no, losing your follows can be a real pain, especially when it happens unexpectedly. But fear not, there might be a way to restore your backup and bring back those precious connections. Have you tried accessing your backup within the app or platform you're using? Sometimes there are options or settings specifically for restoring data. If all else fails, reaching out to support for assistance could also be a good move.
And hey, missing follows on April Fools' Day would have been quite the prank, but alas, sometimes reality is stranger than fiction! Good luck with the restoration process!
Fucking hell, again?! That sucks 🫂💜
I also noticed I am losing followers and some people I follow. Not sure what is the issue.
save your followers and any list on listr.lol
Oh lol for example you. You were following me and you are not following me anymore. And I have noticed couple of more people.
Which app were you using prior to primal?
Try
Nostr Profile Manager
Try this:
Nostr Profile Manager
I backed up my account on nostrsync.live but i tried to restore it and my follows weren't restored. Maybe I am just retarded though and do not know what I am doing lol.
I haven't had to use these (knock on wood), but maybe some folks will chime in who have, or have better solutions.

This is a special #nostr mechanism to ensure you follow the right people 😜 .. and right people follow you ....
jokes apart .. I too experienced this in the beginning when I was playing with many clients , changing my relays etc .. once my environment got immutable , things became rather stable ..
yea alll my follows got wiped today not following anyone all disappeared. Happened to me once before its a giant pain. I ended up manually refollowing everyone do not want to do that again.
Tgis has never ever ever happened because i only use the best client

Just like that? You tried to follow someone and that triggered losing all your followers or people you follow? Why? How? Wtf? Never heard of that. Is that a common thing?
If you’ve ever used @npub1n0st...k6h0 you can login and it will ask you if you want to restore to an old version
The first time it happened to me it was like that this time. It was probably my fault. I just tried following someone now and I got this message from primal
This probably what happened earlier and I was using keyboard might of accidentally hit enter.

Awesome Nostr Resources
A comprehensive collection of Nostr resources, tools, clients, and protocols for developers and users.
Thank you
Oh, okay
Update- I was able to restore my follows I had since Feb via which was very helpful thankyou @Ava
Losing my follows also was not @primal fault they actually have this pop up I just encountered while trying to refollow some people.
Most likely what happened is I accidentally accepted. Just a heads up to other people that encounter this be aware.
I got introduced to nice tools like and that I will now use. Thanks for the help everyone! Problem solved!

Thank you!
Added thank you!
What prompted this pop up?
Awesome. Ofc 💜
I’ve had it happen 4x. Can’t figure it out
I have noticed the more clients you try the more likely it is to happen.
Just be sure to backup via and it will make it easy to get back your follows.

I quit using others and only use @primal. It happened twice more but hasn’t for a while.
