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.

(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.)

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".

(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.

There are now multiple efforts to create a Fediverse version of Follow-Packs / Starter-Packs.

A starter-pack gives 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.
