Overview

social.plus SDK provides a powerful Feed feature that allows users to stay informed, communicate, and express themselves through ranked posts. The Feed system creates an engaging timeline experience with intelligent content curation and multiple feed types to suit different user needs.

​
Feed Types

User Feed

A personalized collection of posts curated for an individual user’s timeline, providing relevant content they generate and interact with.

Community Feed

Posts generated by members of a particular community, fostering connection and engagement within specific groups.

Global Feed

Aggregated content from both User and Community feeds, providing a comprehensive view of all relevant content in the user’s network.

​
Key Features

Intelligent algorithms ensure users see the most relevant and engaging content based on their interests and community participation.
Advanced scoring system that considers engagement rate, posting time, and content updates to surface the most relevant posts.
Live feed updates ensure users always see the latest content without manual refresh.
Consistent feed experience across iOS, Android, Web, and Flutter applications.
