I keep getting surprised by discovering folks I’d lost track of in the Great Pseudo-Nuke where I lost about 2/3 of my follows. 
Part happy to find them again, part sad I lost them for a while and didn’t think to realize why. 
I put a lot of effort into vetting folks; for some accounts, reading all posts and replies 1-2 weeks back is a significant amount of work. Losing the results of that effort really sucks.  

All this to say, I should really go back up my profile 🤔 

 that's painful, any idea what causes the follows loss?

also, I ended up making lists of my buddies on listr.lol to recover quickly or just see them with no noise 

 Considering I’ve already played some with listr.lol maybe that’s the way to go. 
This happened a while ago and I think it was explained to me, but my mind is usually a sieve for technical details. 

 What client/s do you use, and how do you get a client to follow or mute your listr lists? 

 I'm on amethyst 

The middle feed button lets you change to any of your lists. Coracle also allows it and I've asked the primal team to add it
