What happens is, if Primal can't find your follow list on their caching relay, and you follow someone via Primal, it will send a new follow list to your specified relays with just that new follow on it, overwriting the ones already saved there.
To avoid this, make sure to add Primal's relay to your relay list and follow someone from another client where your follows are correctly populating. Then Primal should receive your full follow list. Check how many follows are listed on your profile in Primal to be sure.
Finally, add hist.nostr.land relay to your list so you can always go to their site to restore a previous follow list, should it happen again in the future.
