Thanks for the answer, that's what I originally thought, but then I read from the OP in the above thread that it was possible and wondered if I had missed something, since I haven't been keeping up with all the latest changes.

I heard that you can use a username on Signal instead of your number to get in contact with other people, but I've not heard anything about registering without a number. Can anyone here confirm that this is possible, or has anyone already registered without a number?

@FediTips

Thanks for replying.

1. So if you're hiding an account and following the hashtag, it would show up in the list as well as the main timeline, or just in the list?

2. "If you're not hiding someone, their posts will appear in your main timeline even if someone boosts them."

And if you are hiding someone, will their posts also appear in your main timeline if someone boosts them?

I find the nuances here are a bit complicated and hard to understand!

I read your nice guide "How to use the Lists feature on Mastodon" and have a question or two.

If I follow an account such as @FediTips in a list which I hide from my home timeline, and also follow a hashtag such as #FediTips, will posts from the @FediTips account which use the hashtag #FediTips show up in my home timeline (because I'm following the hashtag), or be hidden (because the account is in my hidden list)?
