XF2 Addons [Audentio] Feeds 1.3.2

Intentional and interactive Feeds

After years in the forum world, learning what is ideal for forum structure and user experience, we’ve taken a step forward in what a community should be with Feeds.

We wanted to better organize the way users can quickly find and create content, and engage with others about topics that are unrelated to the forum subject but at the same time not alienate users that prefer a more traditional forum structure. Research, countless hours in iteration, and ingenuity have led us to create a product that has all the benefits of a social platform but never compromises the needs of small communities.

In reality, there are many types of users that all engage with a community in different ways. Feeds enables communities to no longer funnel users into one core experience, the forum list. Instead, each core utility such as hot (curated), threads, latest activity, questions, and more has its own dedicated space within the community. Along with a curated feed, users are able to filter content based on which forum, who they follow, forums they watch, and more to deliver a truly curated feed.
