Subscribing to a Feed

Browsing Feed Items
Navigate to the Feeds page to browse all your feed items. Each item shows:
- Thumbnail — A preview image from the source content.
- Title — The title of the article, video, or post.
- Source — Which feed the item came from.
- Published Date — When the item was originally published.
- Status — Items are marked as New if they were published within the last 7 days and haven't been posted or dismissed yet.
Filtering by Feed
Use the feed picker dropdown to filter items by a specific feed source. This is useful when you have multiple feeds and want to focus on one at a time.
Creating Posts from Feed Items
When you find a feed item you want to share:
- Click the Post button on the feed item.
- Postpone will create a new post pre-filled with content from the feed item.
- Customize the post as needed, select your accounts, and schedule it.
You can also select multiple items and use bulk actions to manage them.
Marking Items as Seen
To keep your feed organized, mark items you've reviewed but don't want to post:
- Select one or more feed items using the checkboxes.
- Click Mark as Seen from the actions menu.
Seen items will no longer appear with the New badge.
Managing Feeds
Navigate to Settings > Feeds to manage your feed subscriptions. From here you can:
- Edit the title of a feed.
- Fetch Latest to manually refresh a feed and pull in new items.
- Pause a feed to temporarily stop it from fetching new items.
- Enable a paused feed to resume fetching.
- Delete a feed to unsubscribe and remove it.
Feed Status
Each feed shows its current status:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Feed is running and fetching new items on schedule |
| Paused | Feed is temporarily disabled |
| Error | Feed encountered an issue fetching items |
If a feed shows an error status, try manually refreshing it. If the error persists, verify that the source URL is still valid and accessible.
Home Dashboard Widget
If you have at least one active feed subscription, the New Feed Items widget appears on your home dashboard. It displays your latest unread feed items with a quick Post button for easy content sharing.
