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.
I loved feeds. 
@jill7cups what will happen to the "new listeners" and "badges recently awarded" that used to be on the feed page for listeners? Will those be moved to a different place?
@MidnightRaven999 Isn't the feed for members and listeners the same?
@AffyAvo it's very similar but there are some variations
Will miss 😔
Awwww you will be missed Feed
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Moon same fam same
@determinedSummer25 i'm so upset, i spent 4 years working on my feed, only for it to be deleted ):
@Moon I get that, I've been here for 2+ years and that was my only connection to some of the other members. I really wish they had made sure we all received the warning
@determinedSummer25 - me too, Summer. I fully agree with that statement - like a notification in hot bold red or something. (shrugs) Also was losing the feed altogether in some survey or ... maybe that was another post/notification that I didn't see? Hmm...
@cyanPlatypus6370 We got zero warning. The last notice we got was in May that they were going to stop fixing bugs or anything in the feed - they never said they would delete it. Then we got barely 24 hours notice, which sucks since there are people on self-care breaks who will find out later as well who are going to be upset. The site is going to lose more members than it will gain with this. I know I stopped recommending the site awhile back.
@Dawn04
I made a once-in-a-liftime friend here that I can't afford to lose and now with this I've lost all contact with them. The only reason I'm still here is because I refuse to abandon them.
@tluper6491 I hate to hear that. I keep getting tempted more day by day to leave - if it wasn't for my regulars, I definitely would.
@Dawn04 - I know, Dawn. That was my point. Did we get any sort of notification, etc etc.... because *I* did not read anything about the entire feed since, like you said, May. So now we just are all mad about it for awhile and then things find their new normal? @GlenM @7cupsCommunity
Glen, heather225, heather, Krink?, all other administration since I'm unsure who is there any longer - someone reply to me? As I am using the @7cupsCommunity I hope to get a reply. (sigh) (not being mean, stating my opinion, and therefore not afraid to 'sign' my statements & questions) ~ Platy
@Jill7Cups
I'll be sad but I understand. I was trying to get habituated to it. Perhaps linking to an outside server like Discord could replace the feed? Just in case anyone is interested in seeing those kinds of images and posts.
@SynSavory hmm. That would count as off-site contact. From an technical point of view the forums would be a replacement,I guess.
@Jill7Cups
Whatevet you guys/galls do, I'm sure it's the best path forward. :)
@SynSavory
Yes I hope things will be ok, hugs.
@Jill7Cups
Being somewhat new here and not understanding much of how the whole thing worked I didnt understand what the feed was when it was announced it would go. I now do understand and I am very fed up. I had used it to get posts from people I followed. It has taken a level of interaction away. Because ordinary members cant message each other directly you have to go to each forum someone else might be intersted in to see what they are posting. And their interesting posts that I have put in my feed are not there to hand. They can be put in notes but that is very cumbersome. I have tried it. I find 7 cups convoluted processes difficult enough, this makes it not only more difficult but less satisfying.
@Jill7Cups
And I forgot, writing my inspirations and hopes and fears were a way of communicating with followers. It is very disappointing.
@Jill7Cups
And I didnt get to read this post until too late to download my stuff. Well our thoughts are just fletting images, snapshots. But that doesnt stiop grief at their loss.
