p.s. Apologies for the wrong guide link, it's corrected now.
@FediTips Oh I need this!
Follow-ups
Can I follow hashtags within the lists or just people?
Are lists public?
Will people get a notification when they are added to a list? -

Will people get a notification when they are added to a list?You currently can't follow hashtags in lists, but it is a very very requested feature.
Lists are private, they're just timelines for your own use.
You can only add people to lists if you're following them already, so they don't get a notification about lists as they already got a notification when you first followed them.

Thanks for all the follow ups!

There is a lot going on in the world right now, and it may be overwhelming at times. If you want to follow the news but you also need some way of taking mental health breaks, Mastodon's "Lists" feature might help.
Lists lets you move the accounts you follow into several separate timelines. You could for example create a "News" timeline and a "Non-News" timeline, then switch between them when you want to.

I love lists!
Small comment on your article though:
You mention that we can create as many lists as we want. But I have gotten carried away, and found a limit!
I have 50 lists, and if I try to add more I get this error:
“422 Validation failed: You have reached the maximum number of lists”
I am using the web interface. I don't know if this might vary by server?

@FediTips I don't think this works with tags. I don't follow specific accounts for subjects of interest, so I guess I'm out of luck.

No, it doesn't work for hashtags. But they do mention that it is a highly requested feature, so that could change!

I think it was the IceCubes app that had it at one point. But it was only local on each device. Would be nice if it made it into the core of #Mastodon.

You can pin tags, but it doesn't scale.

For anyone comfortable with using Github, they can vote for following tags on lists by giving a thumbs up at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/7692

@FediTips Sorry, but the usefulness is quite limited if the lists contain of accounts.
The same account can post cat pictures and depressing news. That's why I don't use them. -

You can follow Hashtags as an user and then take them in lists:

Are there instructions for how that service works? All I can see at the moment is a blank profile page.

Yes, you have to follow the hashtag. It's like a normal user that you follow. The posts come as retweets.
