I'm developing an app that builds a few lists. Since it seems the only
way to add users to lists is one id per call (please let me know if
I'm mistaken), I experimented with populating the lists
asynchronously. Both seem to build the list fine, and of course async
is much faster. Here's the strange thing: although the lists created
with each method have the same membership list, the lists streams are
not the same. (Sync seems to be doing the right thing, but I haven't
verified this rigorously.) For example, see

Strange.
Cheers,
Eric

Does creating the same list twice via sync'ed methods result in
duplicate streams?
duplicate streams?

I''m not sure if it's related or not... but I had a very similar
problem with "following" users for non-list based items. In fact, even
when I would add new users synchronously, I had to put a sleep in
there of a few seconds. If I didn't sleep between follow calls, the
account would reflect that I had been following the users, but I would
never receive their status in my stream. (For example, the account on
the website would say I was following 10 people, but I'd only ever get
the status for 2)
If I put a sleep of a few seconds, everything worked perfectly. So, it
seems like the list-based following might suffer from the same issue
as the non-list based following.
I know it doesn't help solve your issue, but maybe others have noticed
a similar problem and twitter can look into it.

Indeed something looks strange there. I've brought this to the
attention of the team working on the lists backend. I'll let you know
what they discover.

Great. Thanks, Marcel. Looking forward to the answer. My guess: limit
on concurrent follows as countermeasure against bots?
