The Feed offers a personalized and dynamic hub to stay up-to-date on the latest posts and events in your community.

## About Feed

The Feed allows members to easily keep track of new posts, announcements, and event updates from the spaces they’re involved in. With features like trending posts, upcoming events, and a customizable welcome banner, the Feed helps everyone easily track what’s happening within your community.

### Key features of the Feed

- **Posts and events in one place:** The Feed pulls content from all event and post spaces within your community and presents it in one streamlined location.

- **Personalized feed:** Each member’s Feed is customized based on the spaces they have joined and any spaces that are open within the community. This means members are only shown content that aligns with their specific interests and involvement.

- **For you sort option** : A smart sort option that blends recency and engagement to highlight posts that are both new and active. It helps members see relevant, fresh conversations without switching between different sort types.

- **Trending posts:** The Trending posts block on the right side of the feed highlights the top five posts with the most engagement. This allows members to discover popular discussions and stay informed about trends within their spaces. You can also define a [**threshold**](https://help.circle.so/p/basics/home) to exclude posts older than a specified number of days from the list.

- **Upcoming events:** The Feed features an Upcoming Events block that displays up to five of the latest events from the event spaces members belong to. This ensures that no upcoming event goes unnoticed, helping members keep track of meetings, webinars, or special gatherings from their spaces.

- **Custom welcome banner:** Admins can add a custom welcome banner at the top of the Feed. This banner can be tailored to deliver important announcements, special offers, or a personalized greeting. You can set up separate banners for visitors (public communities only) and members of your community.

- **Feed visibility for visitors** : If your community is public, non-members can view the Feed when they visit on a web browser. However, they will only see content from spaces that are set to open access and the welcome banner if a logged-out banner has been configured.

> ℹ️ **Note:** The Feed only displays content for members who are part of at least three spaces. If a member has joined fewer than three spaces, their Feed will appear blank until they join more spaces.

### Availability

The Feed is available on all community plans. You can manage the availability of Feed in your community, enabling or disabling it at any time.

## **Enable Feed**

1. Click **Settings** in the left sidebar.

2. Scroll down to the **Website** section and select **Defaults**.

Once the Feed is enabled, all members and visitors, if your community is public, can access it directly from the sidebar.

> ℹ️  **Note:** The left sidebar with Feed only appears when you’re on the **Home** tab. The **Home** tab, which serves as the main hub for your community spaces, is always accessible from the top navigation bar. Keep in mind that this tab may have a different name if the admin has customized it from the navigation settings.
