 Welcome to nostr where the followers count is always wrong.

 We’re not connected to the same relays at all. Might expkain some of the difference (follows are stored on relays) 
 Yeah, that's mostly a question of relay selection. 
 Following
    467
    Updated 1h

Followers
    274

That is what my Nostrudel shows. 
 oi! where do you get nostrudel to actually count them up? when i click on profile/followers tab i have to count rows and columns 
 It's on the profile page. Have to unclap the horizontal tab. 
 mine shows zero followers

must be a thing in next

i can shortcut counting them by just selecting them all and pasting into gedit, each follower has a number and so i scroll down and see i have 607 according to my relays 
 Yeah, the next followers is way off. 
 This is what I see on Nostur. At the beginning it stalls around 500 but then it rises to https://i.nostr.build/8G8ea.jpg  
 @trosso19 the only one we have in common is the mutiny blastr. Seems like it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting 🫡 
 That's weird, I see us having a bunch of relays in common. Nos.lol, bitcoiner.social, damus.io, etc 
 Interesting. This is what I see on Damus, for your relays. I see 6 https://i.nostr.build/lLqnw.jpg  
 I’m not connected to bitcoiner social 
 I guess the follower count isn’t the only thing that’s inaccurate 
 This is what I see on #amathyst. Hoping someone who understands outbox can explain lol

 Ah you’re using outbox. I guess that explains why there’s a missmatch between what I see and what you see. The mutiny blastr is the only one you need for us to connect 😂
