We’re ready to show you a new feature coming in Mastodon 4.6 - Collections. These are a way for people on Mastodon to curate and share bundles of accounts that they’d recommend to others, to help find connections and grow their network more quickly.

The initial release will be a starting point, while we learn from your feedback. The early focus is on creating Collections, with search and additional discovery options to come later. There are a few choices we’ve made (on size, following, etc) that we expect to revisit.

In a new blog post, @Imani provides a deeper dive into the design process for Collections, and explains what we’ve included (and things that are left out) for the first release. We’ll be enabling this feature on mastodon.social next week, and rolling it out more widely in Mastodon 4.6 very soon. We’re excited to hear what you think!

@Mastodon @Imani

My one request is to keep my profile out of a collection - full stop. I do not want anyone to be able to add me. It is private for a reason. Bluesky does not have private profiles and being added to a collection or 'starter pack' there is a nightmare. My profile is set to approve followers and I do not want to have to deal with unwanted requests because I was added to a collection. Thanks!

This appears to have been considered, but I want to see it clearly in my settings.

@Magenta Rocks @Mastodon @Imani The blog post says that if you don't want to be in it, just exclude your account from the aggregation stuff. It's an existing setting that they're going to be adding this to which makes the most sense to me.

Yup, same question here.

@Thomas (le retour de la revanche) @Mastodon @rakoo

Great question. This is up to your server and software. If it supports collections, it should provide you with a similar way to opt out; if it does not support the feature, your account will not be able to be added to a collection on another server.

You can not even opt in if you're not on Mastodon. Only Mastodon accounts can be included in collections, no other fedi software accounts.

@rakoo The post above is incorrect: any account on a server that supports FeaturedCollections (as described by our FEP draft here: https://github.com/mastodon/featured_collections) can be added to a collection. It will require this account to approve it before it's added.

So either your Fediverse server does not support collections and you can not be added, or it supports collections and will offer you a way for you to decide if you want to be added

@Mastodon oh, you just killed Mastodon? 😉 Since your posts it became extremely slow. Now a total down here ... 503 error since about 15:20 MEZ, on both of your status pages (social/online) all is perfect. At the moment it seems to work again: 15:30

@Mastodon for a while I have only one feedback: your new web design is so broken that it does not work in most browsers. seems it does not show anything without webasm which is malware by definition. at least, it seems so from errors. but it shows just nothing, empty web page. so you're not accessible from the outer world anymore in browsers that don't break system security, only via JSON requests.

@Mastodon Will accounts from servers that aren't on 4.6 be able to be included in Collections?

If not, I'd be concerned that if this takes off it's going to have the effect of concentrating connections and attention on accounts on bleeding-edge servers.

@Mastodon will that be a Bluesky copy? I didn't like it there either, but I'm probably the exception.

@Mastodon This idea has been used on other networks to make "bully lists" that harassers could quickly subscribe to and get informed of who they should harass next. What is Mastodon doing to avoid this behavior?

@Mastodon Looks good!

25 account limit feels limiting and some groups easily exceed that

Possible improvements:
- “Follow all” could create a new list and follow everyone into it
- If so, better list tools are needed (merge, split, etc)

Other ideas:
- Improve search
- Users should be able to follow specific hashtags from a person, and creators should be able to post to selected hashtags. Eg: I post about POL and tech, followers of my tech hashtag wouldn’t see my POL posts

Yeah, algorithm-lite. But seriously, how about adding hashtags to lists? Users have been asking that for years.

@Mastodon It would be great if we could organise followed hashtags in lists like one can do with people, so they they don’t flood your home timeline.

I believe it’s a wish addressed a long long time ago.
