I have been happily employing #lists via #QOTO's robust subscribe capabilities, and just now started to explore the conventional list features.
Basically, I leapfrogged the technology.
So now I am curious about the pro & cons of the two methods (QOTO or standard) of using lists to observe individual #fediverse account.
It seems like they are parallel/redundant in most ways with respect to me as the information consumer, but how do these two methods differ from the POV of the observed accounts and 3rd parties looking at my lists?
I really want to settle on either adding people to lists the standard way, or through subscription (current method).

@freemo To be a little more specific:
Do accounts know they are on your lists?
How are they different from #twitter lists?
Can lists be shared?
How is doing a #QOTO-style account #subscribe to a #list different from putting an account on a list with the show replies set to "no one".
❝How is doing a #QOTO-style account #subscribe to a #list different from putting an account on a list with the show replies set to "no one".❞
That wasn't very clear. Let me restate:
How is doing a QOTO-style subscribe of an account to a list different from putting an account on a list with the show replies set to "no one"?

@EubieDrew Its been a long time since I worked with the lists, integrated it years ago... off hand im not sure.. what do you mean by a "subscribe of an account to a list"?
My awkward attempt to refer to when you subscribe to an account and send it to one of your lists rather than Home.
