"Following" number not reported correctly?

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Strange happenings:

When I read, say, https://steemit.com/@dek, and then go to my own blog through the menu, I get "182 following" at the top, and when I click that, the whole list of people I follow is there. So far, so good.

After a reload (F5), I see "182 following" popping up, but it is immediately overwritten by "83 following", and when I click that, the list is incomplete.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I just noticed this. @dresden was asked me why I unfollowed him and I assumed I had accidentally removed him as I tend to remove any names that have left if I see them when I check my followers list. That way I keep room for new people. Before the fork I was following about 800 people. Now it is says 61. I will do a post on this too. The more people that report this the better.

When I log out and log in again, the reported number is correct again, and so is the list (until the first reload). Apparently, the information on people followed is still there, so you probably won't have to re-follow them all. Peculiar bug.

@ocrdu it says I only have 16 - you're gone and mweich what on earth I don't follow much people only those I really like and have to start all over again ahhaha - fork it hahah
not you the FORK hahah

It seems that the ones you follow aren't really gone, just reported wrong. I hope they fix it soon.

@ocrdu yes, if i click again - they're there but they vanish
fork ongoing ?

There is no fork. Oh no wait, spoon. There is no spoon.

@ocrdu soft fork?

geen robots toch? daar ben ik wel blij mee
vroeger waren veel - lijkt als of veel mens
maar nu - door de oogje daar - ik zie minder getalen better :)

Shhh!!!
Keep Quiet.
I know that for long time already.
It give you FALSE HOPE.
Anyway those that FOLLOW YOU NEVER SUPPORT anyway.

And wonder why; I follow so little, they ain't worth to be follow

haha - this made me laugh @bullionstackers

Hey! How's it going, orcdu? :)

Fine, how are you? I thought you weren't coming back.

I actually don't have much time to post - should make a point to post at least a couple of times a week, as I do enjoy it :)

Does Steem keep falling still?

Doing better. Maybe the hard fork helped, but you've been under a rock so you probably missed that 8-).

Not really under a rock, I do come around once a week, but I guess I've missed the big event -should read up on it!

thanks for information....^^

I've noticed that all of the apps don't agree.
the number of those that I follow shows to be different on my Blog page than it does on SteemWhales.
for example. Other apps and other statistics too. This is not new...I've noticed it for a long time.

I noticed that also, but I think this particular bug is new.
