You are welcome.

If you are looking for a lot of recommendations you can check out @mastodonmigration.wordpress.com

The second post is a Follow Pack Directory listing hundreds of good accounts by topic. You can click on any one to see their profile and follow them.

Alternatively, check out the Follow Pack FAQ to import groups of follows into topical lists.

"Starter-Pack" & "Follow-Pack".

2 separate terms for the same thing.

They give you a collection of people and other users to follow.

They help new users find people to follow — so they don't have an empty home-feed. But they also help existing users find more people to follow.

I am going to (combine the 2 labels and) start calling them Starter-Follow-Packs.

At least one implementation of starter-packs / follow-packs for the Fediverse is will NOT allow you to add someone to starter-pack / follow-pack if that person has set their account to NOT be "discoverable".

fedidevs.com/starter-packs/

...

(Being "discoverable" or not shows up in the activity (application/activity+json) file for the user.)

As I mentioned before — I think the Fediverse version of Follow-Packs / Starter-Packs should be some type of ActivityPub / ActivityStreams object.

It could look a lot like the "following" and "followers" URLs look.

There are now multiple efforts to create a Fediverse version of Follow-Packs / Starter-Packs.

A starter-pack gives you a collection of people and other users to follow

They help new users find people to follow — so they don't have an empty home-feed. But they also help existing users find more people to follow.

I bet some of you will disagree and/or be surprised about the list I have you added to (there are some lists I don't export), but:

#FollowPacks is an interesting idea. Every person I follow is on a list based on why I started following them but categorising in that fashion is subjective. I wonder if we could do something similar with hash tags.
