Gregory's Server@darius do you have to be following them to put them in the list? So once on the list their posts don’t show up in the main home feed? Sounds cool but not clear how it behaves. Can a user be in two exclusive lists?

@darius functionally-wise this is really cool. There’s something odd about a list affecting the Home feed though. Maybe I’m just to used to twitters idea that “timeline is all your follows” and “lists can contain non-follows”. That’s perhaps conceptually simpler. I’ll gh upvote this feature though  @poswald I definitely don't want lists that can contain non-follows (also it's actually impossible because following is a mutual-consent thing on the protocol here: you ask the remote user to send posts to you -- you don't pull posts from the remote user) @darius interesting that it’s not even easily implemented … didn’t know that. I know there’s also the debate about if it encourages abuse… just a power user thing I miss. As for this feature I think it’s good. it feels like you're doing a “rules and filtering” approach like sieve at some level https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_(mail_filtering_language) |
@poswald The answers are: yes, yes, and yes. More detail here:
