 Hey NOSTR plebs.

Why is there an arb of 10k followers between my Amethyst and Primal Relays?

Please entertain the dumb question as a sincere one, I am trying to learn!

Primal followers = 15.5k

Amethyst followers = 5k 

 
 Primal uses caching (from several relays) so probably is more accurate.
Because of this caching you can also find people easier on Primal 
 Well maybe you can check manually which one is right? 🤷🏼

 Check if both are connected to the same relays 
 I've always considered amethyst follower tracking to be useless, I always look at primal for that
