# Feed

The Feed is your home timeline, blending activity from people you follow, forums you subscribe to, and trending discussions across the community.

## What Appears in Your Feed

Your feed pulls together:

- New threads and replies from people you follow.
- Activity in forums and tags you subscribe to.
- Discussions getting strong engagement across the wider community.
- Announcements from staff and moderators.

## Inline Composer

You can start a new post straight from the feed.

1. Click the composer box at the top of the feed ("What's on your mind?").
2. Write your post. Markdown formatting is supported, and the title is taken from your first line.
3. Choose which forum to post to from the **Post to** menu.
4. Click **Post**.
