Friend list vanished PS5

Due to server issues the game kept disconnecting. Got the "kicked for too many actions" notification.

After finally logging back on I noticed that my entire friend list vanished. PS/ Xbox and PC friends all gone.

Thought it might be a temporary bug,but it's been 10 days since this has happened, still no change.

I have noticed multiple posts regarding this issue from about 5 months back. Disheartened to find out that there is no resolution or acknowledgement from GGG's side.

Many of the friends I had were in game friends who I have no way of adding again.

Hope this issue or my thread is addressed with a resolution.
