(2023-01-13) Udell Lists And People On Mastodon

Jon Udell: Lists and people on Mastodon. I hadn’t thought to use Mastodon lists until I read the Frustration with lists chapter of Martin Fowler’s Exploring Mastodon

Martin’s specific need... To manage these lists, I really need a display that shows every account that I follow in a table with its lists. That way I can easily see which list each account is on, and spot any accounts that aren’t on a list.

To provide a better way to find people who are on lists, I expanded the List tab in a couple of ways. It had included a dropdown of lists by which to filter the home timeline. Now that dropdown has counts of people on each list.

I know that some won’t cotton to this SQL-forward programming model. (steampipe)
