One nice thing about #ExclusiveLists is that since on our relatively small instance we dont have the kind of general following coverage that larger instances have, so I might want to follow someone so that our instance gets their posts, but I might not want in my home feed (eg. Useful but high volume bots, ppl that boost a lot of interesting things, etc.). So I have a list that just "for the instance"

Its mainlined now, but mastos docs sorta suck so if ya dont know what im talking about here ya go:

(Fern:) I LOVE the new feature that allows you to "hide these posts from home" on lists. It makes it so much easier to organize the accounts we're following.
