[Request] Exclusive lists (hiding listed toots from the primary timeline on an opt-in basis)

[shleeable]

Pitch

https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/wiki/Exclusive-lists

This feature rules. Please port it.

Motivation

Twitter has the ability to add people to lists you don't follow... mastodon does not
so I need to follow people, then list them, which causes my timeline to be filled with people I wouldn't otherwise follow.

Excellent middle ground of supporting both the follow first (less stalkerish) modal, while also allowing lists to be more useful.

this is also an opt-in UX feature that won't cause distruption to existing users. win win

FYI, this commit is my implementation along with this bugfix. I could make a pull request if that's something maintainers would like to see.

[shleeable]

I'm a huge fan of merging forked features into the master. Allows forks to experiment more and gain some consensus and quality control... Please PR and see what they say

[dariusk]

Planning to later today!

@dariusk hey friend.

[bixfrankonis]

Really need this in core Mastodon, for cognitive reasons.

OOC, do we know yet if the Hometown code for this will still work off of core Mastodon 4.0?

[dariusk]

I'd assume not. The 4.0 code is very different and I've only just begun looking at it.

I used this feature a lot on Twitter especially for local news or divvying up my interests and would love to see it in core Mastodon

I would also like if something like this was implemented.
