What is the best practice for keeping follower graph / topology fresh if you are not running a hub?

Feels wasteful to hit Neynar every time to get this data (since it doesn't change much)

Could cache results locally and update on a cadence. Downside of this is that it may not be as fresh, but could be good enough

When a user follows or is followed by someone, that new edge is visible to your app

Oh right. I started building out based on the users I wanted to track i.e. listen for onchain events of the signers added and then when a signed request came from that signer I started indexing that fid's data, as well as updating on hub subscription for merge messages. 

I think there are 2 grpc functions that give you the entire list of your following and entire list of following you, as they're kept in secondary keys in the hub's storage engine

it sets the deleted_at to be a timestamp. are you saying that is not being set on the Dune data?

I'm not sure, I think it's because some apps show total follows and don't remove the folks that unfollowed by checking the `deleted_at` timestamp

@dwr.eth maybe some useful user feedback here, as the lack of consistent follower/following counts across apps does feel weird

Forgive my dumb question but is this why every app I look at has a different number of followers/following?
