to get an accurate follower count you would need to download the contact list of everyone who follows you. let's say you had 20,000 followers, that would be 800MB, assuming 50kB contact list size which is typical. we could in theory do this, but would be a waste of bandwidth, and there are bots that spam follows. there is no such thing as follow counts on a decentralized protocol

I mean if you look into Twitter/X API there’s “followes_count: 99” objects, why the client not save the contact number count locally, just the total number not the entire list? So by default it will not download entire followers list, but when user do, it will cache that (only the number), so next time user will see the approximate last time follower number

because nostr is not an api, and there is no follows_count. If you want to propose that as a protocol extension then by all means, but most nostr devs already find kind3 contact lists problematic so it’s unlikely to happen. as for caching counts when you download lists, yes thats the best you can do. but considering it is so easy to fake follow counts i don’t think its worth it or meaningful. A more meaningful metric in a decentralized network is eigencentrality (like pagerank but for web of trust)

clients are not meant to trust relays in any way, i don’t see how you could even trust follow counts from relays in the outbox model. You of course have a trusted index, but indexers abuse those to promote their friends
