I'm resigned to the fact I'm starting over with following people and having some who don't hate what I say ( 😉 ) follow back. I had a computer meltdown, and using my original npub & nsec didn't bring back my old page. Been on Nostr about 3 years. I was following about 750 folks, and had about 600 followers. After the computer reset, poof. All gone. And for a while I'd see follower come, but they'd never populate my Follower list.. Now, it seems they do! So I can zap, and I see 6 people have followed me. That is cool. I want to thank them and I hope there's a teeny bit of insight and value in my diatribes... Have a great new week..

why not use nostr as it was intended, without follower counts?
I understand you're point. I actually just want to make sure everything is working correctly. If I could send zaps from this instance of Primal, I'd be back to where I was before I had to reset my computer. Now, I have this second instance of Primal, where I can zap but there's just 7 followers. Two instances of the same Client is just making me go a little nuts. 468 followers over 2 1/2 years certainly isn't me looking for followers I don't think.
Funny thing, when I sent this reply, Primal kicked me off the instance that has 468 followers, back to the instance I started after the reset. I guess it's hard to get rid of an instance of a Client. I used the same npub & nsec
I just think it's better to use nostr without ever seeing follower counts. there is no cananonical way to get an accurate global count anyway
I'm leaning towards feeling the same way. I guess if someone likes what you have to say, a zap could still be sent on it's way.. Having followers doesn't matter, as long as you're posting good chatter.
if you are getting replies and zaps, what does it matter if anyone follows you?
You're right. You've changed my way of thinking. I'm just having a good time seeing what people have to say, and reply when I want, and watch what's going on.. I'm not worrying any more, since it seems I'm able to zap and from time to time I see people replying to my events.. Have a great week..
based!
