I’m pondering how one would model starter packs on fedi.
I’m imagining an app you can log into with your fedi account that lets you a) create one or more lists of usernames with a theme b) browse all lists and follow lists made by others.
Would fedi culture suggest that accounts would want to opt-in before they can be added to a list, or would an opt-out be enough?

@janl yeah. I keep being a bit annoyed that Mastodon has no plugin/API that allows to extend it without having to wade through byzantine Ruby cruft. Like this could be a great plugin thing that admins could add of they wanted

@tante right, that’s the important point. These things need to be integrated at the first point of contact (an app, or the main server web interface).

@janl that has lists sure but they are
not integrated into clients for simple usage. And starter packs are special because people can make them themselves easily. The challenge isn't "building lists" it is creating a safe but useful way for people to offer curated lists of people for others to follow.

It looks like as usual, something like this already exists, it’s just not accessible to newcomers: https://mast.solarisfire.com/@solarisfire/113492440324722556
