Awesome!

Loops works with these new Collections, too.

It seems as if you can only add at most 25 people (accounts) to a Mastodon Collection.

Having Mastodon Collections is awesome!

But, a 25 account limit makes certain types of list tough.

It seems as if mastodon.social now has Collections (i.e., starter follow packs).

I am happy to see them.

Farcaster seems to have Starter-Follow-Packs now.

Going through a few @mastodonmigration.wordpress.com Follow Packs today. Not a fan of the way packs are set up. If you can only import a pack as a list, you're automatically following the whole list instead of being able to go through and pick and choose. Feels rude to follow and then selectively unfollow.

#FollowPack #StarterPack

"Starter-Pack" & "Follow-Pack".

2 separate terms for the same thing.

❦

They give you a collection of people and other users to follow.

They help new users find people to follow — so they don't have an empty home-feed. But they also help existing users find more people to follow.

❦

I am going to (combine the 2 labels and) start calling them Starter-Follow-Packs.

I created my first Fediverse Starter-Pack / Follow-Pack using fedidevs.com

A Starter-Follow-Pack of people who make the technology of and for the Fediverse.

https://fedidevs.com/s/MTI1/

(It is currently incomplete, as I could only add Mastodon accounts. And the starter-follow-pack won't let you add anyone whose profile is NOT "discoverable". I also probably forgot people to include.)

#DeSo #Fediverse #FollowPack #StarterPack #StarterFollowPack

At least one implementation of starter-packs / follow-packs for the Fediverse is will NOT allow you to add someone to starter-pack / follow-pack if that person has set their account to NOT be "discoverable".

https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/

...

(Being "discoverable" or not shows up in the activity (application/activity+json) file for the user.)

As I mentioned before — I think the Fediverse version of Follow-Packs / Starter-Packs should be some type of ActivityPub / ActivityStreams object.

It could look a lot like the "following" and "followers" URLs look.
