   Is there an #ActivityPub server that allows users to add hashtags/topics to lists? Here is the feature request in #Mastodon repo: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/7692

   I am interested in building a Slack-like interface with a list of hashtags/topics being pinned to the sidebar. if not Mastodon, would have to pick a different server.

     @nilesh Mastodon does, but only in the advanced web interface and only 4 at a time. It's very hidden. You have to enable the advanced web view then add a hashtag as a "timeline", and then finally edit that timeline to add more tags.

     @nilesh yeah...maybe I was misunderstanding.

     I am ignorant about slack unfortunately.😬

     I thought you wanted a list that incorporated hashtags that you would otherwise have to follow.

     That's my mistake.😅

     @BeAware Is this what you meant?

     It's great but it doesn't show a list of those hashtags. It just mixes the posts from those hashtags into a single timeline.

     I guess I can have separate timeline for each hashtag. But what I am trying to accomplish is how Slack looks.

     @nilesh 🤔I have multiple apps on my iPhone which adds a drop down to the top of my home timeline. In that drop-down contains another drop-down for all my followed hashtags. Clicking on one opens all the posts with that hashtag.

     Ivory and IceCubes are 2 that both have this.

     Maybe there's something similar on Android as well but I do not use it regularly.

     @BeAware No worries. I did not know about the advanced web mode at all, so that's a great discovery.

     Also, I now think this can be accomplished only by modifying client apps. Servers don't need a change. Just need a way to show followed hashtags in the sidebar or somewhere easy to find.

     @BeAware Whalebird goes to great lengths to enable Slack-like UI. But it's available only for desktop, not the Web.
