Repost your social media content (Instragram, Facebook, Twitter etc) to create your own custom feed
Curate and repost social media posts in which you are mentioned or hashtagged (with the permission of the original poster)

Go to Web > Feed > Create New.
Select an image from your media collection, or upload a new one.
Enter some body text for the post.
If you’d like the post to appear with a social-media style username, enter it.
If you’d like that username to link to an external profile or bio page for the original poster, enter that link here.
Enter any number of hashtags for the post.
If you’d like to encourage any particular action for viewers of the post, create a CTA link with custom text, e.g., “Purchase this Product” could link to the product detail page if the post feature a particular item.
Choose a publication date either now or in the future if you’d like to delay publishing.
Web enable the post and choose which sites you want it to appear on.

The main feed page is available at /feed (or equivalent for non-English sites).
Feed pages for particular hashtag collections are available at /feed/{hashtag}.
Use links to these pages wherever you would normally use links in your sites, e.g. header menu, footer menu, markdown text, CTA buttons.

A single, or multiple, Feed Posts can be embedded into a Feature Block and therefore used anywhere Feature Blocks are used, e.g., on the homepage, on landing pages, on product pages.
When creating or editing a Feature Block, choose from block types: “specific feed posts” or latest “feed posts”.
For “specific feed posts”, manually select one or more posts you’d like to feature in the block.
For “latest feed posts”, choose the maximum number of posts to feature and whether you want to draw from all recent posts, or only those with a particular combination of hashtags.
Once you’ve created the Feature Block, use it in any Feature Block “slot”.
