You can use Surf to create a custom feed about anything you like — add hashtags, RSS, YouTube and podcasts feeds, @Flipboard Magazines and social profiles, then filter and refine till you get things just how you want them. Here's how, plus a thread with a few feeds we like.
Channel Magic!
"Channels could be anything and everything.
I envision a future where we have sports Channels, music Channels, hobby Channels, activist Channels. Places where people can come together and find others with similar interests."
My new blog talking about the joys of spinning up @trees
We've recently sent invites to Channel.org Channels to almost everyone on our waitlist!
If you didn't receive an invite or you want to add your name to the list for the next release, let us know now!
Custom Feeds for the Fediverse?
Channel.org lets you build customised curated feeds on any topic you want.
Curated via contributors, hashtags, and keywords - you can make a Channel as niche as possible or you can create a huge community of like-minded people.
You can even use it to create public groups!
Sign up for the waitlist now by emailing support@newsmast.org.

We’ve got a long weekend on the horizon so we’re stoked for some content and convos about cycling. @scottiewils.bsky.social’s got it covered with a frothy feed filled with Flipboard Magazines, YouTube channels, Bluesky accounts, RSS feeds, and other Surf collections about the sport.

In the feed, @jglypt has curated 17 sources, including hashtags for each season, fan reactions and the upcoming movie. It’s also got the show’s official podcast, YouTube channel, and a Bluesky custom feed.
There may not be a season 4 but you'll always have this custom feed.

This relay could even use the ActivityPub actor type "Feed".

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.
A relay could represent a community.
And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on
This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server
Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.
Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

Made by Bay Area native @ricohabano.bsky.social, this custom feed is better than any single website or channel — it includes print and video sources like @SFistNews, 48 Hills, @sfchronicle, @kqed, @bside and more.

On March 10, 2025, #Flipboard CEO and Co-founder @mike McCue took to the stage of the #FediverseHouse at #SXSW to show off #Surf, a new kind of #socialbrowser and a way to bring your communities together via #customfeeds

Top o' the list in this week’s release is publish your Surf feeds to Bluesky and a new feature: the ability to pin posts.
Pinned posts are great for setting tone and context for people new to your feed. Use them to suggest hashtags and other ways for followers to participate, and add a link to the full feed (if your feed is also published to Bluesky — more on that here https://bsky.app/profile/surf.social/post/3lnnpyqge5c2p).
As always, please let us know what you think by sending notes to feedback@surf.social. And thank you for testing with us!
