Motivation
Once I'm happy with the posts I am seeing, it would be nice to be able to access them in some canonical way from Mastodon itself, in a sensibly integrated way, so that things "just work" - from the web interface, from mobile clients, etc.
The challenge here is that there is currently not a mechanism for this. There are, of course, different timelines, including what is probably currently the closest - List timelines (that show posts from accounts on a list - with an exclusive flag that can be set to at the same time exclude posts from other timelines, which is required because a follow is required for that to work). This enables algorithmic curation on an "Account" level, but not a timeline of suggested posts. [nb: I just realized that this flag is not implemented in Mastodon.py at the moment, will open an issue for that shortly]
Maybe a similar mechanism could be added to Mastodon to add single Statuses to lists, or maybe a different design would be more elegant - this project seems like a good "testing grounds" to sound out what the requirements and edge cases would be in practice, to then try to work with the Mastodon project to get something that works implemented.
