Introducing Follow Packs
-
@W6KME @mastodonmigration
Dunno, I see them as a type of playlist. They are a collaborative collection of voices speaking to a theme or subject. They may become unwieldy, get 'em while they're young. -

The initial thought is to keep them to 35 accounts which is the amount that nicely fits in one 500 character post.
Edit: Like the 'playlist' concept. Thanks!

If I wanted to create a followpack, how should I format it?

@mastodonmigration thank you, but could you remove my account (I dont really write about urbanist topics), and maybe replace it with @rivoluzioneurbanamobilita

@mastodonmigration @mastodonmigration.wordpress.com Sorry, but this elaborate instruction demonstrates why so many even experienced Mastodon users find the interface too complicated.

No arguement. This is what we can do now. Also hoping for better tools to follow groups of accounts.

@mastodonmigration @[email protected]
The @mastodonmigration.wordpress.com account seems to be suspended.

@mastodonmigration
Let's create a starter pack for science, where we can include accounts such as @KnowableMag -
Not seeing that. Can you check it again? Perhaps something to do with your instance.
-
Have a list for Science started. Also one for Nature. If you have any recommendations, or better yet, would be willing to curate and administer the list that would be great.

I’m confused — I guess this doesn’t work in IceCubes. I don’t see a Preferences button, so the rest of the explanation doesn’t make sense. -

It may not. Don't know IceCubes. You can always log in to your account through the web browser interface, just to load these packs, and then go back to IceCubes.
-
@mastodonmigration We need that there one-click
-
It is in the works. From the information provided so far, it seems like it will involve lists, so the work we are doing here with Follow Packs should hopefully be transferable.
