Hello everyone, if you use mastodon social network I would like to make short tutorial on how to use Mastodon as a your own news feed. Let’s get started.

In this tutorial I’m gonna use official mastodon web client. First go to your mastodon profile, click on three dots near “edit profile” and click on “lists” in drop menu.

There sould be box “New list title” click on it and name your list whatever you want, for example “News” or anything else and click add list. You should see list you created below, click on it to open. List should be empty but we will add accounts to list later. Now if you open the list you should see gear icon, click on it and if you want you can toggle “Hide these posts from home” so that posts are only visible in list.

In order to add accounts to list, go to any account (I reccomend following flipboard accounts) and follow them, click on three dots, add or remove from lists and click on list you want to add it. Now wait few minutes or hours for that account to post something, because only posts created after adding account to list will show inside list and not older posts.
