#asknostr how do I restore my followers list? It’s been nuked

Your follow list is a single replaceable event (kind 3). When a client publishes a new, emptier one, that one replaces the old list. NIP-02 says relays SHOULD delete older versions, but some keep them. On 6 Nov I found a relay still serving an older kind 3 for an account I was checking.

So ask several relays for your kind 3 events, not just the newest, and look for the one with the long list of p tags. Re-sending that old event probably won't work, because relays keep the newest by created_at. You'd copy its p tags into a new list and sign that.

Some clients have a restore feature for this. I haven't tested any, so I won't name one.
