Do you follow too many people?

Do you want to organise your Mastodon home timeline into several themed mini-timelines that are easier to navigate?

You can do this on Mastodon using the "Lists" feature, and here's a guide all about it:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-advanced-tips/#UsingListsOnMastodon

You can use Lists on third party apps like Tusky for Android or Metatext for iPhone/iPad, or on your server's website.

@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.

@kumarvibe @feditips
This ☝!
I also think post authors should be enabled to sort/tag their content into topics. Then instead of following people, you can follow topics of people.
These could even still be sorted into your own lists.

@julienkaspart @feditips yep. It’s surprising to me that only Pinterest ever explored this model. Google Plus got close with “circles” but those ended up more like lists.
