Hmm...I ran across a suggestion somewhere that you could add an account to a list, and then mute the account, so that toots would show up on the list but not your main feed. However, apparently that doesn't work--no toots from muted accounts on the list, either.

Is there a way of doing that? I'd like to follow some news bots, but sometimes I just don't want the news, and generally don't want the news drowning out people.
