@dipolecat @bristle @tech Poor phrasing on my part, but basically I want to be able to follow the community from Masto, but not have it appear in my Home timeline, only on the list I've made for Lemmy :3
@SabreMc So this is an upcoming Mastodon feature, I'm told when I asked earlier – they are apparently adding the ability to follow an account but hide it from your home feed, and only have it in a list. I want this feature too.
@dipolecat @bristle @tech
@TerrorBite @SabreMc @bristle @tech Would be very useful for following unmodded Lemmy communities. They're a bit firehose-y
@SabreMc @dipolecat @tech I think that may be a technical limitation, so the best you could do really is have a “True Follow” list and treat that as your home timeline. Federated servers can’t practically separate “Follow” from “Add to a list” since both intentions need to tell other servers you want to subscribe to an account. I could be wrong about that though.
@bristle @SabreMc @tech It would be possible on a technical level for "home" to be a list that new follows are added to by default but can be removed from. Something like that would make lists much more useful, at least to me.
