   Yes, your Lists are only visible to you. They're inteded as themed mini-timelines.

   The List creation interface is a bit fiddly, but I've done a guide to using it at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

     You have to follow an account to add it to a list, but you can hide that list's posts from Home using the above method.

     (The reason for requiring follows is to let people remove themselves from people's lists by blocking them. There were safety concerns about lists on Twitter being used by trolls to target victims.)

     @feditips @squelf can I add not followed accounts to a list?

     @Blort @contrinitiator @squelf

     There's more discussion of this on the relevant github issue, but I guess it's because some people have follow requests switched on and it's a way of them controlling whose lists they end up on?

     I agree it's not very likely people are thinking about lists when allowing follows, but that might be the logic.

     I really don't get why it's not possible to put people you don't follow in a list, and have the list get their updated posts, but just automatically remove them from all your lists if they block you...

     @Blort @contrinitiator @squelf

     Yeah, this is the reasoning on Github:

     "With consideration to how lists were done on Twitter and the mistakes made there:
     -Adding people randomly to lists could be perceived as harassment and/or generate spam notifications
     -People could not remove themselves from lists except via blocking or softblocking the list creator
     -Private lists did not notify anyone added (by design) and could therefore be used to stalk without notice"

     @feditips Thank you for the reply! Is there any way to know which followers I have sorted in a list and which I have not? I went through the effort of sorting each and every one and I wonder if I missed any...
