Hi,

I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.

Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

    It’s a really good idea to use the “Lists” feature on Mastodon for stuff like this:

    I follow a bunch of news that post a ton of content that I don’t want cluttering up my usual home timeline. So, I’ve added them to a “News” list and excluded that list from my home timeline. This way, I can either view the list whenever I wanna scroll through the news or even add an entire separate column on the advanced web interface just showing that list with news that’s separated from home.

    I only discovered the Lists feature recently. It’s a gamer-changer.
