Bon voyage, feed! The feed is retiring today
A few months ago we announced we would no longer be spending time on the feed and the bugs associated. The day has come where we retire the feed for good and remove it from the platform. We know some love the feature and will be sad to see it go and we get that. Thank you for being understanding and realizing that sometimes we have to make tough decisions for the greater good of the site.
@Jill7Cups the feed helped us grow. It was instrumental in bringing info to others. Good bye feed 
@soulsings With these changes, the site is hardly enticing anyone to stay any more.
@Dawn04
How many times can I say "true"...😔😔😔
@soulsings
Yes souls, we lost smth good...
Im happy to see it go, i could.never control my own feed any way because it just became a place for others to advertise help-wanted and "my feed" was never mine except for on that first day.
Good riddance!
@FuturesRise Only you can post on your feed.
@Dawn04
WRONG
TRY AGAIN
You should see my feed. Im the last person being seen on the so called "my feed"
@FuturesRise I've been here for years.....you can be tagged, but only you post in your feed.
@Dawn04
Im glad its gone, the so called tags infiltrated my entire page. Not what it shoulda or coulda been. Oh well. Life love learn
@Jill7Cups
jill does this mean that the feed posts that i have shared and are on my feed ( under my profile and next to reviews ) are going to be deleted or are the things weve previously shared and are currently on our page going to remain there and just nothing new can be added because the feed is shutting down ?
@jennysunrise8 it will go away entirely, including old posts. Sorry for any inconvenience.
@Jill7Cups
😢 oh well i probabally will do what @RarelyCharlie suggested then and back everything up and just create a my diary space to put it i really love everything i shared on there and just link to the diary page on my profile where ill put the feed posts that i shared i didnt share a lot but what i did i really believed in and it means a lot so hopefully i can transfer all or most of that somewhere
@jennysunrise8
House cleaning...and it is not even spring...
Don't worry Jenny, I know about loss, I lost everything in life so I am used to things being taken away from me, it just makes me more colder inside...more indifferent...
"Que sera, sera..."
@sparklesinthewater
😞 sigh..
Oh wow.. 😢
@Jill7Cups
"bon voyage, feed" sounds so cruel.. the feed end makes me sad..
@LavenderHugs aww sorry if it sounded cruel, not my intention.
@Jill7Cups Thank you for the information. This is probably my first ever forum post, and I've been here for four years. I don't post in the forum because I'm too shy or overwhelmed. But I absolutely feel obligated to speak now. The existence of the feed has been one of the best, most genuine ways I have determined how to best connect with listeners. People across the planet could give me words of healing before we had ever spoken to each other. These words matter so deeply to me that they created the opportunity to begin such beautiful conversations with an enhanced sense of trust and understanding for each person's ways of kindness. I feel that removing this feature will mean that I am not able to share this unique kind of healing, to identify the people who understand my experiences. I respectfully implore you and beg that someone find a way for people to share these healing feelings at their own pace with the people who need to connect. The idea that it will be gone has brought me to tears.
@OrchidMelody
We are glad you enjoyed the feed! You are one of less than 2.5% of users that used the feed. As has been said before, we are removing it so we can focus on additional site improvements. I don't know of the details, but I know that they are working on a replacement, although it will probably come in a different format.
@LavenderHugs I can't help but feel it was meant to be.
@Jill7Cups will you redesign our profile page? what will take all the center ? will our page take all the width or will it just be a column with an empty center?
This is a terrible decision. Id rather pay for service than loose an intregal part of this site.
@aVoidthebrownies Same......it would be worth a small fee to not have changes that ruin the site.
What about the people who are on a break or the people forced to take a break? They aren't going to have the chance to save anything. Seems to me like there could have been more notice.
@mytwistedsoul
Apparently they "discussed" it in May...
@mytwistedsoul
i agree there couldve been more notice more than just a few hours what about the people who went on self care break in may there was an announcement that there would be no more fixing the feed but nothing was said about doing away with the feed just no bug fixes on the feed unless i just misunderstood https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/SiteupdatesMay2019_1923/NolongerfixingbugswiththeFeed_202360/1/ if so this is a surprise and when people come back from break there will probabally be some upset people to deal with it might be a good idea to save some pages of people who went on break if possible ...
@jennysunrise8 I think they allready have some upset people on their hands. Unfortunately some of the people that go on official break as far as I know you can't access their feeds - so you couldn't save anything for them if you wanted to
@mytwistedsoul There was never any discussion or vote or anything - just the powers-that-be claiming no one wants the feed any more despite multitudes of people who have asked for it to be left alone.
@Dawn04
It didn't say no one wants the feed- @Jill7cups's post says it was due to technical reasons, not because no one wants the feed. They said they will be replacing it with something better, so hopefully that will come out asap :)
@EvelyneRose In May one of the four reasons given was that "Most people arent using it". @Dawn04 and I took part in that discussion and remember it. They have had at least five months to replace it, so I am less hopeful than you 
Charlie
@RarelyCharlie I remember seeing something about that too - that most people aren't using it
@RarelyCharlie
Perhaps, but these things do take time! Small IT team, huge site. I'm sure they'll figure a good replacement out as resources allow.
@mytwistedsoul there was discussion of this back in May i had even taken part in that but i do get where your coming from as some breaks can be longer for many
@mytwistedsoul
I was too late to save mine. I only just read this post. And I dont know that I ever saw the original because I was new to 7 cups and really only texting my therapist at that point.
??? Why?
@RarelyCharlie great idea i just did that saved all those following me into a google sheet so if i shared some healing quote in a journal in trauma subcom i could tag them over there
