Feed Overview#
The social feed aggregates content from your connections, followed pages, joined communities, and algorithmically recommended posts. It serves as the primary discovery mechanism for ecosystem activity, thought leadership, and opportunity announcements.
Post Types#
- Text Update - short-form status updates and thoughts
- Article - long-form content with rich formatting
- Image Post - visual content with captions and tags
- Video Post - native video uploads or embedded links
- Poll - interactive polls with multiple options and duration
- Document - share PDFs, presentations, or reports
- Link - share an external URL with a preview card
Feed Algorithm#
The feed uses a multi-signal scoring system to rank content relevance for each user, ensuring the most valuable content surfaces at the top.
- Connection strength - posts from closer connections rank higher
- Engagement velocity - rapidly engaged content gets boosted
- Content freshness - recent posts prioritized with decay over time
- Interest alignment - content matching your skills and interests
- Role relevance - content from your ecosystem role peers
- Community membership - posts from your communities get priority
- Interaction history - content from people you frequently engage with
- Diversity factor - prevents feed dominance by single sources
Engagement Features#
- Like - react to posts with a single tap
- Comment - threaded discussions with mentions and rich text
- Share - repost content to your feed with optional commentary
- Save - bookmark posts for later reading
- Report - flag inappropriate content for moderation
- Hide - remove posts from your feed without unfollowing
Choosing who sees a post#
You choose the audience on the post itself, each time you post.
| Audience | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Public | Anyone on the platform, and anyone who finds the post from outside it. |
| Connections only | People you are connected to. Not their connections. |
| Private | Only you. Useful for drafting something before you widen it. |
Good to know
This setting is about your own feed. Who can see a post you make inside a community depends on whether that community is public, private or hidden.
