Awesome!

Loops works with these new Collections, too.

It seems as if you can only add at most 25 people (accounts) to a Mastodon Collection.

Having Mastodon Collections is awesome!

But, a 25 account limit makes certain types of list tough.

It seems as if mastodon.social now has Collections (i.e., starter follow packs).

I am happy to see them.

Farcaster seems to have Starter-Follow-Packs now.

"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".

(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.
