  • You can see your lists on Twitter by going to the “Lists” tab, and choose “Lists you’re on” from the three-dot menu to see the lists you’re included on. 
  • Any Twitter user can add you to a list of users, and vice versa, to create a curated collection of tweets. 
  • You can subscribe to a list by following it, or remove yourself by blocking the owner of the list.

An often-overlooked Twitter feature, lists are curated collections of Twitter users that anyone can make to see a custom collection of tweets. The bottom line is that Twitter lists let users create a themed, custom Twitter experience.

Anyone can add you to a list. You can subscribe to the lists you’re a member of, or remove yourself from the list.
