Is your main timeline getting a bit too busy? Does it feel like you're following too many people? You can split your main timeline into smaller mini-timelines using Mastodon's Lists feature:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon

It's slightly fiddly to set up, but once you get started Lists can be extremely useful.

You can optionally hide any List's accounts from your main timeline, to make it a bit calmer.

Most common questions about Lists are answered at the link above!

@FediTips I've just started several lists, a first for me. Thanks for the excellent guide.

@FediTips I personally miss having lists on the official ios client. it’s such a powerful feature!

I live by the list! It’s one of my favorite things here. Fiddly in that it’s easier to add someone to a list as you follow them, rather than trying to go back and add people after the fact.

@FediTips Lists are much easier to use on Mastodon apps like @MonaApp !

@FediTips Very underrated feature this. Would be unbelievably useful if lists could be shared publicly. That would be a joy. And for when more joy, sharable lists that combine current functionality and also the capability to add in hashtag follows. That would be so wonderful.

Hashtags on Lists would be especially good!
