When you add an account to your list, do they get notified like on twitter? Or do they know at all that they are on any list?
i’ve looked online for a bit but i don’t seem to find the answers i want, they just exolain what lists do
You must log in or register to comment.
On mastodon you can only add an account you follow to a list. They get notified when you follow them, not when they’re added to a list.
Worth noting that, at least as of the last time I checked, this wasn’t necessarily true of other fesiverse microblogs with list features. Like, I think you can add someone to a list or an antenna or something in Misskey without having to follow them first, so there’s no notification
You’re not notified on Bluesky but since the information is public, there are services that let you look up if you’re on a list (clearsky.app is the most popular one - it might be the only one for now? idklol).
I wish this wasn’t the case. It feels creepy following people when they get a notification. I just want to see their posts and invisibly lurk.
