@NVAccess @main Other way around: on Mastodon you do have to be following someone to be able to add them to lists (on Twitter you didn't). They're useful if you only want to see posts from people in a particular category (eg from scientists, etc).

On Mastodon, due to the limitations in search, I also find them useful for locating people whose handle I've forgotten. If I know they're in a particular list I've created I can skim the List Members to remind myself what it is.

@padraig @main Fascinating that replies on Mastodon appear on the Lemmy instance ... if someone using rblind.com can be bothered, could you reply to me to see if that comes through to Mastodon, thanks?

@padraig @main Just testing to see where this ends up.
