Feeds

Feeds allow a user to create a fully custom client-side feed by combining numerous sources together! Feeds can be composed of multiple communities, users, and even PieFed server feeds (albeit in a limited fashion). Feeds are disconnected from your account and are fully client-side, so you can manage and access them without needing to be signed into a specific account or needing to use server software that supports feeds.

In addition to (settings) profiles and filter lists, feeds can also be shared using Intestellar's config sharing feature. Feel free to post your own feeds on the instellar_config community. To do so, either go to the Feeds screen under settings, and then click the share icon next to the one you want, or use the share icon in the markdown editor's toolbar.

Due to the way Feeds work, it allows you to combine any stream of posts with any sorting method, so we have utilized this same functionality to enable full sorting options on the "combined" view (previously called "timeline"). The combined view is now basically just a built-in feed combining threads and microblogs.

Last thing to mention here is that PieFed feeds and topics are now supported (within the constraints of the API). If you are signed into a PieFed account, you will be able to view PieFed feeds and topics from that instance. You will also be able to create client-side feeds that combine PieFed feeds and topics. Due to the API constraints, you will unfortunately not be able to use client-side feeds that contain PieFed feeds and topics from a PieFed instance that is not the one you are browsing with.
