@Fxflow/Macro-fx Subscribing to/Following Other People's Lists
Following a list is as simple as following any other Twitter user. Simply click on the Lists tab when viewing their profile, and select which list you'd like to subscribe to. From the list page, click Subscribe to follow the list.
You can also consequently remove yourself from a list by blocking the creator of the list.
Note: If the owner of a list that you're following includes a public user that you've blocked, you will still see the updates of the blocked user. This behavior is similar to visiting the profile page of a public user that you've blocked: you're still able to read their tweets.
