these have a slightly different purpose. to quote fiatjaf, and why I chose a different kind:

a "categorized list of people I follow" is different from "this starter pack I made for others"

okay, so they should be implemented as a starter pack. so probably shown in the signup flow 👍

FWIW I use kind 30000 lists in coracle's onboarding

To be honest that was just my ex post facto rationalization of your choice to use a new kind. 30000 would have worked well, but an argument can be made for both sides.

no it does make sense. People create lists of npubs for many different reasons. These are supposed to be short lists specifically for onboarding, not for categorizing personal lists.

"follow lists" can also be private (encrypted) where as follow packs should only be public

What said I'm worried apps will start mixing them and users will get confused what is a follow pack and whats a list

People are totally going to use them for the latter, though, too. 😂
