All I can find now is a way to add friends, but not pages or groups, to a list. (Go to the friend's page, click on the "Friends" button on their cover photo, and you'll see "add to list".) I'm hoping you have more info, and might update these instructions soon. Or plan a FB protest riot. I'm down with either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636986554774156371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-49015632324837633112016-11-20T04:50:23.548-05:002016-11-20T04:50:23.548-05:00This is awesome.

So, when I click on "Create List", all I get are suggested pages - which, in true facebook fashion, are completely uninteresting to me, and don't include any of the pages I follow.

After that was easy to move one to favorites and delete all the spares I'd made and all good. I especially love my fave pages list! Now if i can just get my close friends and family to stop sharing and liking all those crappy posts I will enjoy that list better too. :) - Pardon repeat posts. I realised I'd typoed confusingly!T.L.
