(fuller description of the feature)
It is useful to be able to have separable feeds, and to be able to follow some people but for one reason or another not have them in your home feed. This hack lets you follow people and only show their posts within specific "exclusive" lists.


== TODO ==
=== Examples ===
 
This could be the case when, eg.
 
* You follow someone in a specific context --- eg. a reading group, a journalist that covers a specific topic area, [[Monsterdon]] etc.
* You follow someone who posts a lot! which is normal! but maybe they go on the list of high frequency posters.
* You want to keep your home feed very focused to your close friends, and for everyone else to have their own feeds
 
== Usage ==
 
=== Web ===
 
On any list, open the "options" panel and enable the "hide these posts from home" option:
 
[[File:Exclusive lists.png|class=img-responsive]]
 
=== API ===
 
Use any of the standard create/update commands using <code>exclusive</code> as a boolean parameter.
 
See the [https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/lists/ Lists API documentation]
 
Eg. to make an exclusive list:
 
<pre>
POST https://mastodon.instance/api/v1/lists?title=MyList&exclusive=true
</pre>
