@andrei I'm looking for a way to dedicate a column to the art bots in Mastodon's advanced web interface, like I have in Tweetdeck.

Unlike on Twitter, we can't reuse a list someone else made because Mastodon lists are private. I would like to save the effort of maintaining the list myself, or if I do, make sure other people can use it. Do you provide something equivalent, like a bot that boosts (retweets) all the content posted by the art bots? We could then follow that user or make it into a list of one, and make that list a column in the advanced web interface. arthaus.social/public/local would be good except that I don't know how to follow it without joining the arthaus.social server. Even if I joined, I wouldn't want to pollute the feed with my own content anyway. Do you have a suggestion?

@mjambon i don't know if there is a way to have a dedicated column. I am pretty new to Mstodon so it is possible I am simply not aware of that feature

@andrei it seems that the easiest way to have a dedicated column would be via a hashtag. If every post had an hashtag (or other sufficiently unique hashtag), this would work. Here's a screenshot showing a dedicated column for the hashtag.

Other solutions I'm aware of would involve more bots.
