Client devs interpreted this to mean following. (That means if you follow 1000 people and then follow your 1001st, it sends 1001 pubkeys in a single event to relays… lol)

So you can easily see who you follow. But to figure out who follows you, we have to query for Kind 3 events which mention you in their p tags. That’s why the “followers” counter in Iris fills up as you sit there looking on the page, for very large accounts.
