i wish basically any social media site would generalize the "Lists" idea that twitter had into a more central "follow sets" concept. i want to have my friends and good posters in two separate feeds by default so i don't miss my friends' posts.

like, give me one column that's good posters i choose to follow in that column, and another column that's people i actually talk to with shares/retweets/whatever turned off

cohost's multiple pages come kinda close but i don't wanna have to switch back and forth. on twitter i can just pin a list of friends and swipe left and right. bluesky doesn't have anything unless you blow an invite on a second account. mastodon doesn't let you add people you don't follow to lists, and if you don't check it for a while your lists stop working

yeah,, the big thing that bugs a lot of people i've talked with is that we can't turn off shares from a user in the dashboard like you could on twitter. bein able to do it on their page is nice, but if you just wanna see someones original posts and don't care for their shares

but also yes

lists/circles/groups but not in the twitter circles way, that's another one i hold out hope for

Yeah, I've ended up using RSS feeds to try and get some of the functionality - and this works OK for Masto with only showing friends' posts, but I don't know if there's a way to get Cohost's RSS to not show shares

this is really important for letting people genuinely curate their experience, and it's ironic that twitter of all places was the only one that managed to get it right

if you follow someone, you either see all their posts all the time, or entrust yourself wholly to the whims of the algorithm. lists are great for letting create a group of people whose posts you can see when you want to, without dumping their entire feeds into your feed 24/7
