You can follow people and put them on a list that's muted on home. You know, if they're interesting but you don't want to see their stuff all the time. Maybe they post stuff that stresses you out and you only want to look when you're mentally prepared. Maybe you feel it's polite to follow back but they post boring stuff. Etc

@dillyd I make heavy use of this strategy.
Add the people who post primarily political stuff to a Politics list, then I can dip into it when I'm ready and it doesn't clutter up the peace and warmth of my main timeline.
Put certain people into Too Loud. I don't look at that list very often...
And put others into Important -- I still let them show up on the main timeline but I want to make sure I see their posts. And this way, they don't get lost. -

@stuff of course, depends on the client app you use.
But, typically you can click on the account's profile, get a context menu, and add/remove from lists. The list gets created when you add the first account to it. And each list lets you say whether you want posts from accounts in the list to show up on your timeline or not.
The trick is that you do it from accounts, rather than looking for some big list manager.

@dillyd I love my lists. They've been very handy.
