 @elsat did you lose your follow list? https://image.nostr.build/7fb6f612eb54c99f444943e28158c0b6ac21891453045e46017ad78cdab2d573.png 

We just had a team meeting to talk about two of our employees who lost their lists around Nostriga and noticed yours. We are cooking some things which you will hear about soon but in the meantime I learned about https://follows.nostr.com/ which seems to work well for recovery. 
 fwiw Nos gave me a push notification last week that @montzstar and @Linda unfollowed me, which was strange because I think I’m on good terms with both of them. 
 I definitely didn’t unfollow you! 
 I lost my follows list. It wasn’t personal! Sorry!  
 @Linda @mplorentz which new app(s) did you use prior to losing your follows list?

Contact list wipes is not an uncommon nostrability issue. 

My list seems ok 
 No idea. One thing to note we are not losing our entire lists only parts of them. In my case I lost most people in two separate instances 
 Fountain? 
 There was a somewhat similar sounding #nostrability issue from a few days ago

 Oh yes sorry that’s our new follow notification server which accidentally got turned on for everyone for a few minutes. We aren’t going to ship the unfollow notifications but they are useful for development. But yeah I think a lot of folks lost their follow lists around Nostriga. 
 Could have been a bug in the service that it showed that @montzstar unfollowed you? 🤷‍♂️ CC @dcadenas  
 Yes that's the most probable reason. Sorry for the noise! 
 We could ask someone who lives in Riga to go search for them, would that help? 
 I was laughing so hard, I hit the wrong reaction emoji. 
 Has anyone checked the Riga Lost & Found? Someone may have found them and turned the in. 
 Y’all are sketchy af.

 That’s a good sign. I see the same in Nos actually. Maybe it’s just a display bug in Primal?
