Expand the documentation for exclusive lists to further explain functionality #1216

Closed thomasmdickinson closed 1 year ago

thomasmdickinson commented 1 year ago

Pitch

I suggest that the docs should include additional description of the exclusive lists functionality, clarifying that:

There may be other nuances and edge cases that are worth explaining but these are the ones that came up with a friend today so I thought I'd share them as areas for improvement in the docs.

Motivation

Of course Hometown users can just play around and find out for themselves, but additional description would be helpful especially for users not already on a Hometown server yet but investigating the utility of the feature to decide whether to switch to a Hometown server.

Thanks @thomasmdickinson -- I put what you wrote mostly verbatim on the wiki:
