Exploring a Feed channel

Created by Anjan Chaudhary, Modified on Fri, 18 Sep at 5:08 PM by Anjan Chaudhary

Feed is a new way to post in Community, alongside Chat. Where Chat is real-time messaging, Feed allows for structured, asynchronous posting, of different post types, that you can browse and revisit anytime.

This article walks you through creating a post, choosing where it goes, and what happens after it's posted.

Making a post

Click the "+ New Post" button, either from the Global Feed or from inside a Feed channel, which opens a two-step composer: choose a post type, then fill in the required fields.



Additionally, you can also start a post from Schedule a post in the Scheduled tab.



Choosing where it goes

Channels field: Type-ahead, multi-select. A single post can be sent to up to 5 channels across multiple Clubs at once; each option shows the channel name and its Club.

If you make a New post from inside a channel, that channel is automatically selected, but it can be changed or removed.

Channels that you do not have permission to post to will not appear in the Channels field drop-down.



Post types

You can choose between 5 different post types: Text, Media, Poll, Question and Resource.

  • Text: Title (optional), Body.
  • Media: Title (optional), up to 6 files, Body/caption.
  • Poll: Question, 2-6 options, Closes on (date + time).
  • Question: Question, optional context, Closes on (date + time).
  • Resource: A URL or content reference, Title, Body.


Only the post types a channel's Admin has enabled for members will show up in the composer for that channel. For example if the admin has only allowed for Media and Text posting in a particular channel, this is what you, as a member, will see:



Posting or scheduling

After filling out the post details, click "Post now" to publish the post.



Once posted, you can see which Channels and Clubs the post went to.

Optionally, toggle "Schedule for later" to post it at a later time instead. Set a date and time and click "Schedule" to publish.



Reacting, commenting, and reposting

Every post supports Like/React, Comment (or Answer, on a Question post), Repost, and Bookmark.



Reposting a post

Clicking "Repost" opens a modal where you choose destination channel(s), optionally add your own comment, and see the original post previewed below. A repost is its own post with its own counts. If you repost a repost, it quotes that repost, not the original underneath it.



Managing your own posts

From a post's three-dot menu you can Edit post (if enabled by the club admin in Community settings), Copy link, Delete post, and Archive it. 



You can also Report message or Report member on posts authored by someone else.


Archiving Posts

Archiving removes the post from the feed and moves it to the Archived tab, where it can be restored or permanently deleted.



Scheduling posts

Any post you schedule shows up in the Scheduled tab with its publish time, and stays listed afterward showing whether it posted, is still upcoming, or failed. A post can fail if your permission to post in that channel changed between scheduling it and its publish time.

You can Edit, Post now, or Delete a scheduled post from its three-dot menu.



Searching in a community

Use Search to find posts, comments, and files across Feed: Search covers post titles, bodies, comments, and file names, with filters for channel type, user, channel name, date, and post type.



Mentions

Check Mentions and Bookmarks: Both split into Feed and Chats tabs with unread counts; tap an entry to jump straight to that post or message.
