Been thinking about how folks (journalists) complain that Mastodon != Twitter. Yet I've found it to be a great substitute, personally.
Maybe it's because I use lists? You should be using lists, too!
Maybe your first could be a "must read" list: The accounts you don't want to miss updates from. Start there if you've been away for a while.
Add/remove accounts as needed. Lists are private, no one is going to judge you.
Here's a primer from @feditips https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/ #Mastodon #Lists

@User47 @feditips I would LOVE to use lists, seriously!
But here is a trouble I have: I can create a list, let's say name it "Privacy" and set it our for "Members" of that list reply....or whatever.
The issue is, how the fuck do I add anyone to that list???
How to add people to a list?
Will check the guide.

@expert @feditips I don't think so. But here's an easy test. I just added @DWTSquawk7600 to my read list this morning. DWT-- Did Mastodon tell on me? :)

@User47 @expert @DWTSquawk7600
No, they won't be notified. But you can only add accounts that you follow, so if they wanted to prevent being on your list they could block you.
(This is a safety feature to prevent victimisation.)
