I have been telling people to use https://metadata.nostr.com/ to recover lost follow lists, but when I tried to use it I learned it isn't very good for that, so I wrote https://follows.nostr.com/, which focuses on just that one thing and hopefully does it well enough.


Thank You

Thanks 😊 Just tested it, works great. Somehow I "unfollowed" 22 people since  Feb 18th (I did not). Followed back with the tool 🔫


PuraVida


much appreciated


Why isn't https://metadata.nostr.com very good for follow lists?


I would call it refollow.nostr.com


It is not good for recovering lost follows because it only offers a way to restore a previous follow list, not to grab people back from that.


Would have been better, but now I'm too lazy to change.


Interesting. It never occurred to me that you wouldnt just restore the latest version that was on record and rebuild from there.

Is it because you didn't realise it was lost until you added some more people?


Maybe we need a relay that trawls all other relays for everyone's follow list and stores all versions.

They could then charge sats for recovery.


what if you have a logo https://i.nostr.build/aBnJ.jpg


Is it AI?


yup, if you couldn’t tell that “F” is fucked


It doesn’t seem AI to me. Maybe will try to be better.


It takes a bit of time and a little look to figure things out in order to comprehend the greater picture. Even if can’t make a proper decision at the beginning, in the end there could be better results when least expected.


This only deals with contacts, not tags.

But patches for that are accepted at nostr:naddr1qqrkvmmvd3hhwucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvupzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqvzqqqrhny4gexp5

I like the concept, but the connection makes no sense to me. I only have a private key and an npub. Is the npub not able to retrieve the follow list? I'm somewhat of a Nostr noob
