Hey new people and those thinking of joining, you do NOT need to sign up on huge servers!

You can follow and interact with people on any server from any server, the servers are connected.

It would really, really help the network right now if you could sign up on medium or small size servers. You will still be able to follow and interact with whoever you want, and the network as a whole will work much better.

A good safe place for beginners to find servers to join is joinmastodon.org/servers

joinmastodon.orgServersFind where to sign up for the decentralized social network Mastodon.

@feditips is there a way of creating public and private lists? I use those on the bird place to put work-related accounts into a separate focussed stream I can dip into rather than my chaotic main feed.

FediTips has moved!

@magslhalliday

You can create lists on the website version of Mastodon, if you log in on your server's website. It's at the "Lists" link.

An alternative approach is to have separate accounts on separate servers for work and personal. This has the added advantage that if one server ever goes down you can log in on the other account and people will still be able to get in touch with you.

@feditips @magslhalliday btw a similar Akkoma question. I know how I can create lists but will they be private or public? will people I put on the lists know what list they are on and who is on the same list too?
