 Tried amethyst, then when I opened Damus I was no longer following anyone, doesn’t look like I dropped any relays, now manually re-following people 
 Happens a lot unfortunately when switching platforms. No idea why it happens. I have less than half of my followers on Amethyst than I do on snort.social and I have no idea why that is 
 I have not used Damus, but have used two Amethyst and Iris and at least 3 web clients, frequently at the same time. Have not lost any data between them yet that i know of. 
 I guess any client can misbehave if it has your private key. I would suspect Amethyst. It might have had some cache which it published thinking it was the only client. Dunno. 
 Hey Matt, check my ‘Following’ list, should save you some time. 
 Oh hey, you used to follow me. Remember? 
 Amethyst was a terrible experience for me. Trying Iris on android -- seems way less buggy  
 Yeah, followers, follows doesn't matter. I've lost both. Both have the same issue of being wiped when switching clients. 
 Good to know, thx 👍 
 I think there are 2 different data for a user:
Meta data: contains user name, lud16 address etc
Contact list: contains relays and follows.

So if you update your relay list when you don't have your follows synced, this might cause the problem.
