Editorial discovery
The best sources on X, by topic.
Hand-picked lists you can open and rank yourself, at most 20. Profile text is the stored bio, not a popularity score.
Featured communities
Editorial selection of lists that already have accounts. Not a popularity rank and not a complete catalog. Change
Saved lists keep lists you choose. Email is a separate page and stays off until you check it.
Toronto has no independent fan account in this batch, so it is not featured. Researched local news, including the wave B metros, stays on the local news page. A place without a list there is not researched.

Accounts already on a list, with a stored follower count of 25,000 or less. Nothing here was invented, and a low count is not a quality score.

Method and limits
- The account text is the stored X bio, not a rewritten why-follow note. A public profile read on 2026-11-09 updates the accounts it covers and leaves the earlier bio provenance in place. Follower counts appear only for that read, with its date. Accounts outside the read keep their stored text and show no count. Source type stays an editorial tag.
- Names, pictures, and @handles open that account’s X profile. OnLists does not follow, post, or edit X Lists for you. Follow list is only an OnLists subscription.
- Organizations and individuals are ranked on separate lists. Unclassified accounts stay on the mixed lists. A checkmark is not a credential.
- Overall points are current top-20 ballot points on that list, plus nomination points on that same list. A nomination point is not a ballot and is not a voter. A vote does not add points on another list. Last 30 days is a rolling net. Fastest rising is that net divided by the total 30 days earlier and still uses ballot voters. A zero baseline is New, not infinity. A list with no ballot points and no nomination points shows sample editorial order, not a popularity ranking.
- Ballots are private unless you explicitly share an anonymous preview.
- Sponsored rotations, if any, do not change points. Payment is not configured.
- Place pages without accounts say Not researched yet and are marked noindex.
- The home page can feature lists near your browser time zone, or near places you pick. Picking places replaces the time zone. Don’t use my location turns that off. A signed-in choice is stored on the account. A signed-out choice is a cookie you can clear. The IP address is not stored or logged. Offline IP lookup stays off unless the operator enables a local database.
