Yup. Followers sticking and slow/broken home feed was the reason I tried primal. Didn’t help much. Came back to Damus. Heard that adding relays would help. It did help for the feed (still slow but better). But following is still very hit or miss. A rough approximation is maybe 50% stick.

Nope. I tried nostr a yr ago with snort but that was a temp account. My permanent account here was created with Damus and other than my test of primal shortly, this is all I’ve used. Two other clues: 1. I’m not sure if the relays get flooded or maybe there’s a local memory leak if you do a lot of actions? If I followed more than like 20 people it seems the app really slows down. Maybe that’s when the follows get lost. 2. In general the follow list algorithm seems unoptimized. For example when I go to Jack’s profile and click followers (they start hidden), then the number starts climbing slowly from n=1++ and in his case tops out at like 2200ish followers. He obviously has lot more than that. But it seems like it’s literally doing a foreach loop counting 1by1 until something tops out (memory?)
