Lists explained
Two kinds of lists: audience lists (who sees your posts) and follow lists (a custom feed of people you pick). They look similar but do different jobs.
What it is
There are two kinds of lists on TrueSay, and they look similar but do different jobs:
- Audience lists = who can see your post. Used in the composer.
- Follow lists = a custom feed of accounts you pick. Used to read.
Same UI, different verb. We get this question a lot, so here it is.
How to use it
For an audience list: open Settings → Audience lists → New list. Add accounts by handle. Use it later from the composer's audience pill.
For a follow list: open Lists in the sidebar, tap New list, add accounts. Pin it to your sidebar with the pin icon so it's a tap away.
Use them. Audience lists shape who reads you; follow lists shape who you read. Many people end up with one of each, named the same.
Why it matters
A clean read/write distinction is what makes the lists feature work — but the UI naming is "list" in both places because users kept telling us "list of people" was already the right mental model. So we kept the word, separated the screens, and labeled them clearly. That's the trade.

Audience targeting and lists
Choose who sees a post: everyone, followers, a custom list, or a single group. Audience lists let you reuse the same set across posts.
