Hey @541, let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this. If you are *only* using Damus and the Primal web app with your nsec, and your relay list is getting deleted, then one of these apps is deleting it. Note that if you access any other Nostr web app via your browser extension, that app is also theoretically able to make changes on your behalf. Please confirm. If you are able to reproduce relay deletion via the Primal web app, please let us know which exact action you performed, and we will try to reproduce this on our end. FWIW, I use the Primal web app every day, as well as Damus occasionally, and I’ve never had this issue.

Yes sir i will collect all of the cirumstances of everything and report them back, let me gather that data for you im almost done with what im working on. But i love using damus on my phone and i love using primal on my browser, so i really want to get to the bottom of this also. TYSM for posting a note, ill get you the data here in a minute.

Okay mr miljan, so heres what i have going on. I use alby via safari to 07 my entry into primal. I dont use a signer on my damus, and i'm on test flight always. Not sure if that matters. I never ever, touch the settings on either. I have like the same 8 relays I always use, and that im happy with. Over the last few days too, i've noticed my primal web has been laggy. Sometimes ill try to post a note and it will say it failed but it goes through anyway. Sometimes I will send a DM, and the input box never clears itself, but if i click something else then click back in the dm, it sent. I'm losing my follows, which is nuts. And if i'm not mistaken, i never had this problem until i used the data backup thing that pablo suggested... metadata.nostr.com I'm 99% sure that PRIOR to that, I didnt have these two issues. When pablo posted like hey your meta data can get wiped, I chose to back it up on that. So now what seems to happen is my damus and my primal are overwriting themselves ( and to both you and will please dont get upset if im saying it wrong ) its just what it feels like. So for example earlier today I loaded my damus, and ALL my relays were deleted. then I added the 4 suggested relays and boom, content started coming through, but it was basically dead doing nothing. But then ill go on my primal, and i see like follow buttons for people i know i damn sure followed. and I dont know exactly what is happening. Its not ONLY the clients fighting over the relay list, its also my follows. Do you have a workflow you can give me so I can try to get more data on how this is happening? I literally just had to re follow you, and i've followed you almost as long as will. I have no clue wtf is going on here. should i close one, and update the other. should i close both? what do i do to help?

If this helps at all, i never ever used anything but Damus. like i checked out coracle and yosupp and stuff but i didnt start using primal web till a few months ago maybe 2 months. Now im like losing my friends, not seeing my friends posts cuz i only look on my following feed i dont look in universe. But im literally losing follows too. There's time even if its posting a note that it says it didnt post (but it did) and the dialog box never clears itself, it does that with DMS too. is there some kind of process of elimination i can do where i uninstall everything and start from scratch, so that way you can get the data you need?

I’m sorry I couldn’t give better info. If you guys devise a workflow. I’ll try it. For now I’m delete everything then login to one and see what happens. Then manually go Into my msgs and click other and refollow
