Mastodon provides the highest (over 12%) engagement under posts
Mastodon itself doesn't, but maybe he's referring to Tusky, a popular FOSS Mastodon client, preventing its users from logging in with an account tied to an alt-right instance (gab and a few others I think).
They used to also filter any content coming from these accounts but I can't it in the code so they must have removed that.
As for the login block itself it's there: https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/blob/01b3cb3a53b1e08ed26e7...

Is it possible to view a list you created in the mobile app?
You can't in the official app, but you can see them in moshidon, megalodon and tusky. Moshidon and megalodon are both forks of the official app with more features. You should try them out :D

Fosstodon Hub – More Upgrades
I signed onto Fosstodon last week to give Mastodon another try. I found the overall experience to be massively improved (last time I touched it was in 2017) and the recent traction it has gotten puts it well ahead of anything else IMO (I'm also testing out Farcaster and a few other services, but those seem pretty niche/immature in comparison).
While Mastodon is a bit rough around the edges, it has that same sort of excitement to me when I signed onto Twitter back in 2006, and most of those same friends/connections from those early days have been migrating. Based on the numbers floating around, I think it has enough traction now/critical mass to be it's own pretty exciting thing. While a lot of instances will fail, I don't think economic sustainability is actually a showstopper. Patreon, OpenCollective, any number of tools can handle recurrent donations enough to sustain larger instances, and there probably will be some alternative approaches as well. Migrating accounts between Mastodon instances isn't perfect, but is a core built-in feature, so while there's a bit of instance roulette, I don't think it's such a big deal. There are tools like https://fediverse.observer/ that might help for picking. It even has a map view, which is pretty neat: https://fediverse.observer/map
Here's a rough view of ActivityPub growth: https://fediverse.observer/stats
FWIW, I decided early on as I started researching into the current state of the Fediverse/ActivityPub that I should probably run my own instance. There are hosting providers that provide Mastodon hosting (although most of them like Spacebear and Mastohost are oversubscribed), but as I was researching, I decided something like Pleroma or Missykey would be a better fit anyway. There are some forks and I ended up using a fork of Pleroma, Akkoma (since, while a bit involved, it has pretty decent docs for setting up w/ Docker Compose and overall seems like the best-performing of the bunch, and has good support for most Mastodon clients). I was able to repoint my account from the Fosstodon Mastodon instance (which included migrating my followers!) to my new personal Akkoma instance pretty easily (the only wrinkle was setting up webfinger since I decided I wanted my canonical account id to not be a subdomain).
For those looking for a bit of an overview of what the current "Fediverse" landscape looks like, some resources that helped me get started:
* https://fediverse.party/
* https://joinfediverse.wiki/Main_Page
* https://www.paritybit.ca/blog/mastodon-is-dead-long-live-mis...
For clients btw, I'm using Whalebird https://whalebird.social/ and Sengi https://nicolasconstant.github.io/sengi/ on desktop, and Tusky https://tusky.app/ on mobile.

Clojure Community on Fediverse
The official app is pretty good and cross-platform. I use Tusky on Android, and really like it. A couple of other tech instances are

What's the best way to host an entirely private mastodon server only for myself?
You could try hometown as an alienating server? https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown

Is there a way to one-way federate with a Mastodon server? I want to set up a server where users can interact with the rest of the fediverse, but all local posts are only visible to users of the instance
What I'd recommend is that you ask about this on the Hometown github repo (https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown). Open an issue to put in a feature asking for admins to have the ability to restrict all users' posts to local only. I have no idea if Darius, the guy who maintains hometown, will be into the idea, but it can't hurt to ask.

Mastodon needs something between Local and Federated
I have a friend who is advocating for something called Neighborhoods. It's not exactly what you're talking about, but similar. https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/issues/1222

Does tooting Unlisted mean that only other users on your instance can see it?
Hometown is a fork of Mastodon that adds "local only" visibility, which is what you're describing. I hope that Mastodon eventually adopts it because it's extremely useful on smaller, focused instances.

Hometown v "regular" Mastodon
Hometown has two themes (aside from the basic ones that come with Mastodon): fairy-floss and macaron. See here for more info on those themes. I assume one of these two themes is what you are referring to.

Lists [Twitter -> Mastodon] (or de-cluttering Home)
It sounds like what you want is Exclusive Lists, a feature from the Hometown fork of Mastodon, which allows you to define certain lists as "exclusive" meaning that when you add someone to that list, they no longer show up on your Home timeline.
