Primal - Follow User Exclusive Issue? Help me, please.

Hello folks,
Last week I just lost all my Nostr followers after trying to follow a new user and got this:
I accepted without thinking too much and done... lost everything.
After a week trying to rebuild the users/followers/follows today I went to a new user and when I click on "Follow" I got this same window again.
I did a little test in Coracle and I'm not getting this issue.
This is very bad in my opinion, to lost everything due to a client error. But I understand that can be like a collateral effect of distributed protocol. Maybe this should at least be made clear to common users. To understand why this happens.
Can you imagine you, after 7 year at Nostr building your audience (let's think you got 1M followers), then from day to night you have nothing, no followers, no follows...?
So My question is: are other clients giving this same issue as well or is this just a Primal client issue?

It's one of the reasons why I don't use Primal in combination with other clients. If you're only using Primal it should be fine.

Hello friend. Someone recommended this website on Nostr. I had try but when trying to connect to profile it keep searching without ending... and no login.
I think the strength of Nostr is to have freedom to change from client to another. If we need to choose just one and can't change anymore... so there is something wrong with Nostr protocol or with some clients, in my opinion.
BTW I'm not used to change this all the time.

I don’t think you lost your followers, but the people you are following. They can still see your posts.
