Iโ€™m more interested in telling you how I feel about the difference between blue and yellow corn, and why I prefer txt interfaces. ๐Ÿ™‚
Counting follows is counting the number of contact lists you are on. Contact lists are large so relays will only allow you to pull so many at a time. To know how many people follow you is knowing every up to date contact list on every relay. Clients canโ€™t really pull all of this information down, so depending which relays you are counting from you will get different numbers, but it will always be inaccurate. Follow counts are a centralized concept.
Which is a good thing ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also we don't see any spam bots and ads in the replies as well. If you wrote on X 1/4 of the replies are from spam bots which have profile photo of Asian girls with rich meals and rich life style, 1/4 ads, 1/4 complaining about the issue you mentioned and 1/4 crucifying you. And regarding this the follower count on X doesn't mean anything as well.
How about as an addition to the follower list, the follower also sends a separate note tagged to the followed for notification?
Surely this can be improved with a indexed, purpose built relay for follow lists. It doesn't matter what you think of the concept. People still want to know their follow count. It's not a centralized concept to want to gauge your reach.
