There is a lot going on in the world right now, and it may be overwhelming at times. If you want to follow the news but you also need some way of taking mental health breaks, Mastodon's "Lists" feature might help.

Lists lets you move the accounts you follow into several separate timelines. You could for example create a "News" timeline and a "Non-News" timeline, then switch between them when you want to.

More info on how to use Lists in the guide at

Follow-ups
Can I follow hashtags within the lists or just people?
Are lists public?
Will people get a notification when they are added to a list?

You currently can't follow hashtags in lists, but it is a very very requested feature.

Lists are private, they're just timelines for your own use.

You can only add people to lists if you're following them already, so they don't get a notification about lists as they already got a notification when you first followed them.
