I added the following line to the FeedManager (app/lib/feed_manager.rb) in the push_to_list function: `return false if status.reply?` Now all posts that are replies are filtered out, so that now only "genuine" posts are displayed in the list. This is a first approach to solve issue mastodon#5916

A small tweak in list behaviour: Now all posts that are replies are filtered out, so that now only "genuine" posts are displayed in the list.
Of course this is a bit sub-optimal in that it would be better to have a certain subset of these replies - namely those on posts whose authors are also list members. But filtering that requires a bit more complex logic.
One would have to find the post to which the reply relates. Then seek the author of this post and then a comparison, if they are a list member.
The best way would be to provide the user with a setting which gives them an option to choose whether the want the "old" or "new" behavior.
