fedi has had “starter packs” for years in the form of a tool called trunk

anyone talking about how starter packs are a problem is trolling, end of story

[pgriess@mastodon.social]

@ariadne TIL!

https://communitywiki.org/trunk seems to be what you’re referring to?

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@pgriess yes

[kescher@catcatnya.com]

@ariadne huh, what are starter packs in the context of fedi?

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@kescher lists of users to follow to pre-load your feed

[kescher@catcatnya.com]

@ariadne oh, yeah, that... exists on mastodon as a built-in feature, has for years

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@kescher sort of. the idea is that your friends can share suggested follow lists with you.

[tthbaltazar@chaos.social]

@kescher @ariadne
what

how have I never seen it??

[kescher@catcatnya.com]

@tthbaltazar @ariadne your admin can basically create suggested follows

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@kescher @tthbaltazar not the same thing

[be_far@social.treehouse.systems]

@ariadne we also have @FediTips , who curates a list of “hey, if you like X follow Y”
