Mastodon Starter Packs – Get Your Feeds Humming
One of the most common complaints new users have with Mastodon is that initially their feed is dead because there is no algorithm here and they don’t know who to follow. The purpose of this article is to help you with a core group of recommended accounts to follow so that your feed presents interesting content.
In order to follow any of the accounts listed in this guide you can copy/paste the address into your # Explore search box and then click on the result to bring up the account, then click follow.
How To Use Lists
It is highly recommended that when you are following a new account you organize your account by Lists. For example if you are adding accounts under the subject of news, first create a news list:
Click Lists on the right >>> Type “News” in the box >>> Click “Add list” >>>
Click “1. News” below >>> Click on little slider bars top right >>>Toggle “Hide these posts from home”
This will create list title “1. News” and make it so that these posts DO NOT appear in your home feed. Then to view related posts, just click on “Lists” and then “1. News” in the pop-up. Repeat this for other list categories. For example you can make a list titled “2. Media”. The reason for the optional numerical antecedent is so your list of Lists will be ordered.
Then whenever you add an account that pertains to news:
Click on the account link >>> Click “Follow” >>> Click the three vertical dots on the right next to the bell >>> Click “Add or Remove from lists” >>> Click the little plus sign next to “1. News” (it changes to an x) >>> Repeat for each new account follow
