Hometown introduces a new kind of _exclusive list_. It's a toggle available for each of your lists that says "any post that appears in this list should not appear in my home timeline".
## Why
Right now if you add an account to your "friends I like" list in Mastodon, posts from people on that list appear on that list. But they also appear on your home timeline, and maybe you don't want that! You'd rather treat your "friends I like" list as your "real" home timeline, and then check your home timeline when you're bored.
Also, if Hometown is going to be [a universal reader](https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/wiki/More-content-types), you're going to need better control over organizing your feeds. This lets you create, for example, a "Blogs" excusive list that does not appear in your home timeline. You can simply read new blog posts when you want to.
## How
When you choose "Edit list", which is the interface where you add accounts to a list, there is now a toggle labeled "Exclusive?" Turn the toggle on and hit the "check" to make your list into an exclusive list.
