Possibly 🤔 I struggled with the feeds here to start with, so I created my own feed of favourites using a list. It's the main feed I look at, and you're one of the people I added to it! I only add people who's posts I enjoy or find interesting 🤗 but I don't post much as I haven't the time to reply.

Yes lists are the way to go. That's how I work. Largely ignore the Blue sky standard three feeds

As long as you are confident that your lists won't be used as targets for blocking and abuse.

Same here.
