Oh have you tried this before? Maybe there is a bug in metadata.nostr.com … sigh. @fiatjaf (not sure who runs this) I’m guessing there is bad data in the tags and then somehow it nukes everything

After my issue started, I did try to restore using hist.nostr.land. But it also didn’t 100% work, @semisol told me my contact list was messed up, but we got it working. But all in all, I’m still stuck.

@TKay signed a blank contacts list 'created_at' 20th April 2024. Its the oldest profile metadata.nostr.com finds unless you have previously logged into the site with the same npub. Did you scroll to the bottom of the page and press restore? If so, this is the one it was trying to restore and that's why it is blank.

Oh! It could be. The site didn’t work on my phone, I just saw a blank white page, so I scrolled until I saw a restore button, which I believe was almost at the bottom of the screen. So maybe a user error coupled with the site not rendering. This was my first time using the website. I guess showing a very long list of all the npubs is not super user friendly, it would probably be simpler if it just showed the count of npubs in each backup, and if someone really wants to see the list they can click into it. This would also make the contact page shorter. I was able to find a complete list, and restored it. It still didn’t solve my issue I have in the recorded video.
