Lists in Mastodon are a really useful feature, I wish I realized it sooner. You can follow accounts, put them in a list then hide them from your timeline. This way each list effectively becomes its own timeline which is super-useful when following news sites or specific topics. This way I can keep mostly mutuals and interesting people in my main timeline and dip into the lists for news on tech, Ukraine, politics, etc...
@gabrielesvelto You are not alone realizing this 😆

@edgren @gabrielesvelto do you use these from the web interface or an app? I'm not a list user yet, and am trying to understand how I can use them.
@mapto @edgren I use them from the web interface. Click the "Lists" button on the right then create one and add the uses you want. From inside the list you can then use the gear button to hide the posts for that lists from the main timeline.
