What the feed is
The Feed is the community-wide post stream. It lists custom user posts in reverse chronological order and uses cursor pagination, with 20 posts by default and a maximum of 50 per request.
The Feed requires accepted community rules. Posting, liking, and commenting require write access, so they are blocked if your account is community-muted. Rules and mute behavior are explained in Community Overview.
Post types
Two types of posts appear in the feed:
- Custom post: a user-authored post with a title and body. Title is limited to 120 characters and body is limited to 2000 characters.
- Changelog post: a platform announcement published by admins. Changelog posts use the same title/body model and create notifications for users.
Writing a custom post
Open Feed from the Community sidebar and select Write a community post. Enter a title and body; empty content is rejected. Once saved, the post appears in the feed and on your community profile.
Creating a feed post shares the same post cooldown as creating a forum topic. The base cooldown is 2 hours divided by your current community level. The level system is explained in Experience and Achievements.
Your Community Level, Post Limit, and Comment Limit cards on the feed show the current XP and whether each shared cooldown is Ready now or how long remains.
Likes and comments
You can like feed posts, but you cannot like your own community activity. The first active like on a feed post gives the author 10 XP and increments their received-like count. Unliking removes the active like, but it does not undo already-counted XP.
Feed comments are limited to 500 characters. Comments are listed newest-first with 25 comments by default and a maximum of 100. Creating a feed comment uses the shared comment cooldown: base 30 minutes divided by your community level.
Comment authors can edit and delete their own feed comments. Feed comment likes do not add XP.
Bug confirmations
When a useful feed bug report is accepted as confirmed, its author receives 50 XP, their confirmed bug count increases, and bug-related achievements can unlock.
Confirmed bug status appears in the feed/profile data and in moderation views. The same confirmed-bug reward model is used by Forum.
