@Gargron I did wonder if that would be spotted. I mean the beautiful countryside contrasts with, well...

@Gargron Quite a contrast to the Lake District!

@feditips Yes I am. Not sure I knew there was a single-column mode, but that would explain a lot.

@feditips Thinking about it, it is probably where you were describing. I was actually picturing something attached to the right side of my screen area though. The actual column is way off the right side, so it didn't feel like that was where you meant. And, of course, it won't be there either if you have done any exploring, editing profile or other stuff that appears there as well.

@feditips That is all working fine and as you describe. It's a great way to keep the home feed more manageable.

@feditips Not a problem. I am grateful for the support. Software changes. Maybe I did something wrong.

@feditips Trying to actively find the answer myself, I found that clicking on the name of the group in the Home feed does take me to where I can add the group to a list, but it doesn't work from the following list in the profile. The way to hide the list from the Home feed is also different to that page based on my experience using the web interface just now.

@feditips Now all I need is to find how to access the list!

@feditips This is awesome, thanks for the link about groups. I have one follow-up though. The page refers to putting the followed groups into lists so that they don't flood your home column. When I try to follow the instructions, it doesn't seem to work for groups, only for individuals. What am I doing wrong do you think?

@feditips I'm trying to find people and hashtags to follow on Mastodon. The platform is clearly still developing, but there don't seem to be many hashtags in my field. I was wondering whether the hashtags shown when you search for them are from one instance or across all Mastodon instances. It seems to me that the latter would be a huge improvement to help the fediverse develop.
