User-created public and private Lists to curate user experience as well as help build community

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** As Bluesky grows and especially when it goes public, many of us will likely be following more users. The more users we follow, the more our home feeds will be a firehose of posts, difficult to keep up with. The "My Feeds" section helps, but access is unwieldy if we want to quickly browse a custom feed that isn't necessarily the one at the top. This isn't a problem for those who just want to post/announce, but for those of us who actually want to keep up with those we follow and interact with the community, a better solution would be appreciated. Another challenge: Trying to help promote Bluesky to different communities. I am hoping to get more of the kidlit community moved to Bluesky, for instance, and being able to say "Here's a list of children's book agents I've found so far on Bluesky" along with a public link to Bluesky List of users would help motivate more kidlit creators to move to Bluesky. **Describe the solution you'd like** User-created private and public Lists, similar to what is currently available on Twitter. I'm baffled by why Twitter is the only social media platform thus far with private/public user-curated Lists, so I'm wondering if Lists are difficult to implement from a technical standpoint, but I figure it worth posting here. With private Lists, a user who only had a few minutes to browse Bluesky could quickly go to a "VIP daily" list (or whatever they name it) and browse. For longer
