Why not just enable instance moderators to mark some of their existing lists as "starter packs" and offer them to newly registered users for automatic follow + list import at once? (Without need to save and import CSV manually...)

@FediTips yes, but actually... no :-)

I am asking for the existing CSV import/export feature to be integrated with the GUI (without need for CSV files to actually exists, but who knows).

Instead of standalone recommended accounts, instance admin or moderator would recommend entire lists of interested accounts to follow. Like algorithm did on Twitter. But it would not be algorithm, but moderator's choice.

Because new users know nothing about recommended accounts. The choose randomly and it sometimes acts as echo chamber.

Moderator can recommend accounts with very little followers, which is actually good. Moderator is person with enough time to spend lot of time exploring Fediverse.

Because it is anyway what advanced users actually do, but for average users it is too complicated.

I just suggested using Lists infrastructure for this, because it is already there, there are some dialogues and so. So it would be easier to recycle user lists, instead of implemented some moderator interface for recommendations for scratch.

Also, it would be nice to be able to see dynamically generated lists, by the way. Eg. "all the people I fav most, all the people I boost most" and so. So I can return to these people and add them to my lists :-)

I just don't want all the time we waste on social networks to be wasted. Browsing the fedi content is real work and I would like to share results of this work efficiently. Boosting too much is not the right way to go.

Sometimes, waiting for the natural process, eg. the good content being boosted enough times, takes years... and for new users, it may be hard to initiate the process at all...

Ahh okay, thank you for the clarification! 🙂

I think there has historically been danger of CSV files being used for spamming?

There was one major Fedi directory that used to offer CSV files years ago, sorted by topic, but they had to stop that because they were being misused by spammers to target particular accounts.
