Check out my new collection: https://mastodon.online/collections/116541023355434531

Collections are not generally available yet, but they are now testing them on mastodon.social and mastodon.online.

This is a test collection containing a small number of accounts to learn more about this new capability.

Edit: Can't say this makes much sense yet. Tried to view this post from another account and it just brings up a list of these 5 accounts. Not sure how this is supposed to work? 🤔 cc: @MastodonEngineering

@mastodonmigration @MastodonEngineering When I click your link I see a list of accounts to follow. Although, I follow all of these already!

A screenshot of a list of accounts with follow buttons on the right.

That's interesting. You'd think it should say Unfollow. What happens if you click the button?

@mastodonmigration @MastodonEngineering I think it's because I use phanpy as a client, and the collections link opened in a browser window referencing mastodon.online. I wasn't logged in to that instance. There was a login and create account button at the bottom. Is this supposed to work across instances, or not really?

Certainly it is, but it is a new feature currently in limited release testing, so it is reasonable to expect some issues.

@mastodonmigration yeah they said in the design post that they're not letting you "follow all" yet at least, subject to feedback. Also not much in the way of discovery but that's coming later.

Personally I'd like to be able to get all users in a collection put into a list with one click more than just one click follows.

100% on the loading the collection members into a list!

OK, was just going for the intuitive experience and kind of got confused.

What does it look like on your account if you click the collection link?

@mastodonmigration I see the the list of accounts with follow buttons (or unfollow in case I already follow). It looks exactly the same as when you view your own collection yourself I think.
