Jokes on X: build this knot
Some corners of X exist just to make you groan: dad jokes, puns, one-liners and joke threads. This knot keeps it family-friendly by filtering adult content and giveaways, and hides replies so you see the jokes, not the arguments about them.
Add the accounts that make you laugh as members and keep the knot handy for a bad day. Use Top for the jokes that landed.

Who to add as members
Comedians and writers who post one-liners, pun accounts and the friend who always replies with a joke. We don't list anyone by name: pick the people you already read, so the knot reflects your corner of the topic.
Once you add members, the builder makes three more feeds: everything they post, their posts on this topic, and replies sent to them.
Tips for this knot
- Top with Minimum likes 100 finds the jokes that actually worked.
- Run a weekly pun challenge with the hashtag planner.
- Credit the writer when you repost a joke.

- Keep it public if you want others to follow it, or make it private for your own reading.
- Add members from the list editor or from each profile's menu.
