Excellent. Lists @jaz

@feditips ooh might be useful thank you

@feditips Noted! Thanks for the tip!

@feditips

Not sure, i think there is a difference if you reflect on number of people you follow, vs number of people you favourite / boost vs number of people you interact with.

@feditips Highly recommend doing this - although I've found mentally adding '... and cats' to all the lists I made would be accurate, for lists originally named Archaeology, Art, Space, Tech or whatever.

(So many cats! It's great.)

@feditips Thanks, that's the easy part. 😀

But what does the "Show replies to" setting do?

Is it another filter to further limit the toot's visibility?

@feditips

What I used to do on twitter was create lists of accounts I don't follow i.e. things like news and local traffic reports and then my main feed was uncluttered but I could open a pane in tweetdeck or in the app for just that stream of posts.

Is that possible in mastodon?

@feditips I just wish lists were easier to build out and requires a lot of clicks in order to add a person to a list

@feditips I used lists extensively on the bird site. Haven't gotten around to setting them up here, but I will.

Is there any equivalent on Mastodon to the TweetDeck interface? Because that worked GREAT in conjunction with lists. It was my default way of using the bird site.

@feditips these apps really need a link on either posts or profiles that says, "Add to List"

The leaps and hurdles in the stated List Howto are hilarious. Yes, it can be done, but ain't nobody got time for this 😏

@feditips this is nice but I like Pinterest boards better. They are like inverted lists, i.e. you subscribe to lists created and maintained by the authors. This allows you to follow one person who posts about multiple topics (as we all do) and see the posts filtered accordingly.

@feditips is this part right ?

"On some people’s Mastodon profiles you’ll see a padlock icon 🔒 next to their names. This means they have follow requests switched on for their account,"

"switched on" ??? Don't you mean off?

@feditips yeah but the feature is barely functional in v3. I have to type in every single user to add, instead of just listing them all and letting me click a plus symbol. it'll get there. just saying that it's not very useful yet.

@feditips I’ve add https:// but the link still not clickable, why?

@feditips 😂

@feditips

This method only works some of the time.

If the person is not on your server it does not seem to know that you're following them, and therefore you cannot add them to a list.

In this case, editing the list directly is the only solution I've found.

@feditips just wish it was easy to transport lists btwn instances.

@feditips Thanks. Shared and bookmarked

@feditips not supported in the official mobile app though, I think?
