MastodonWe’re ready to show you a new feature coming in Mastodon 4.6 - Collections. These are a way for people on Mastodon to curate and share bundles of accounts that they’d recommend to others, to help find connections and grow their network more quickly.
The initial release will be a starting point, while we learn from your feedback. The early focus is on creating Collections, with search and additional discovery options to come later. There are a few choices we’ve made (on size, following, etc) that we expect to revisit.
In a new blog post, @imanijoy provides a deeper dive into the design process for Collections, and explains what we’ve included (and things that are left out) for the first release. We’ll be enabling this feature on mastodon.social next week, and rolling it out more widely in Mastodon 4.6 very soon. We’re excited to hear what you think!

Alexander Käßner@Mastodon @imanijoy I highly appreciate your usual care and moving in slow/small steps. I know that this is a rare thing these days, but I feel like this is a solid approach in general.
Either way, looking forward to see this in production! 
Just recently thought about who I could add to my follower list.
Imani@alexkaessner Thanks for the kind words! @Mastodon
Petra van Cronenburg@alexkaessner This is also what I like very much: that more organic and sustainble growth - plus the open communication with the users!
