Add to lists by bulk via /relationships

Open anneroth opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Pitch

Add a column to /relationships (the setting that allows me to see whom I follow and who follows me) that allows me to add accounts to lists. Ideally by bulk, e.g. by ticking a box for different accounts and choosing a list to add them to.

Motivation

With a growing number of accounts that I follow I started adding them to lists. Since Mastodon doesn't allow it to add people to lists without following them I also created a list for the people I do actually want to read, sort of my home timeline.

This entails having to go through all of the accounts I follow to add them to lists. Currently that's only possible by going back to /web/@myaccount/following, opening each account, add it to a list, go back, scroll back to the last one I added and repeat. (At least I think?)

Being able to do this by bulk would help people to handle the issue of handling growing accounts, or accounts with growing activity. Plus it would help to handle the lack of a proper home timeline (that is, minus all the accounts we follow for specific interests - but not all the time) by allowing to create that 'home timeline' later on more easily.
