One thing that Mastodon newcomers may not realize is how easy it is to turn Mastodon for web into essentially a Tweetdeck clone, with columns for search/compose, home, notifications, and any lists you've set up. It takes literally seconds.
Here's what mine looks like right now:
A month after incorporating Mastodon lists into my workflow ( https://journa.host/@spencerdailey/109388873948779246 ), here are some thoughts about the end user experience: As you know, lots of friction exists in many aspects of using Mastodon, and yet, people really want to be here (because they fought through it). š Mastodon's "Lists" feature *is* great, but it really makes you put in the work. Some thoughts on using Mastodon as a media-gazing tool:

You can also combine multiple hashtags into their own column.
First, search for an interesting hashtag. Open the Show Settings menu on the result and pin the column.
Open the Show Settings menu again and you can tell it to include additional tags in that column.
If your first search was #cats, then you can add #catsofmastodon and #catstodon as well and any related post will show in that column.
