Lists and read later
Save posts for later and organise them into public or private reading lists.
Lists are how you keep a post without following its author, and how you curate collections others can read.
Read later
Every post has a save control that drops it into your built-in Read later
list at /lists/read-later. It is always private, always yours, and needs no
setup.
Custom lists
Create named lists at /lists. Each list has:
- a name and optional description,
- an ordered set of posts,
- a visibility setting.
Add a post from the post itself — the control shows which of your lists already contain it — or manage membership from the list page.
Public lists
A public list appears on your profile’s Lists tab and has its own shareable URL, so a list is a lightweight way to publish a reading guide without writing a post about it.
Private lists are visible only to you.
Lists and remote posts
A list can hold federated posts as well as local ones. The list stores a reference; if the remote post is deleted upstream, the entry stops resolving.
Managing a list
| Action | Where |
|---|---|
| Create | /lists |
| Rename, edit description, change visibility | The list page |
| Add a post | The post, or the list page |
| Remove a post | The list page |
| Delete the list | The list page |
Deleting a list never deletes the posts in it — a list is a set of references.
