Hello, world. Does the concept of a list exist in mastodon?

@brayanjules probably not as @Randy_Au and @goabiaryan are having to use a Google sheet

@brayanjules @Randy_Au @goabiaryan

Do you mean lists of people to follow like you might ended up added onto on twitter?

So far things I have seen:

* You can only add people you follow to a list.
* Lists are personal and cannot be shared with other people.

It seems the goal of lists is to have separate refined timelines of the people you follow.

@brayanjules @jayatid @goabiaryan @Randy_Au I've noticed that the "add to list" button in the UI seems to vary, instantaneous if on the current server and some others, but either long delay or timeout fail if on another server.

And yes, the exact use case I have with mine is to bucket users thematically based on interests. Would be nice to have an easy share or export function tho.
