Available exclusively for Plus subscribers, this feature helps you filter noise, refine your reading experience, and surface the most relevant content with precision.

Why Use Advanced Custom Feeds?

  • Curate your experience – Build multiple feeds based on topics, tools, or interests.
  • Prioritize what matters – Fine-tune feeds with advanced filtering options.
  • Declutter your reading – Block unwanted content and focus on high-value posts.
  • Customize your main feed – Set a custom feed as your default for quick access.
