Public Feed

A shareable public page that collects everything you've published across your social platforms, at a URL that belongs to you.

Why turn it on

Your posts live on someone else's platform. Accounts get suspended, algorithms bury old content, handles change, platforms rebrand or disappear. The words and images are yours, but the address where people find them isn't.

The Public Feed is a single page, at a URL on your DemandBird account, that collects everything you've published through DemandBird β€” across LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Threads, Bluesky, Substack, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Each entry links back to the original so readers can engage with it where it lives, but the canonical list sits in one place that you control.

Think of it as an archive of your work: one link you can put in your bio, share with a prospective client, or hand to someone who asks β€œwhere can I read more of your stuff?” It doesn't replace posting to the platforms. It just means your output accumulates somewhere that doesn't depend on any one of them.

Enable your feed

Go to Settings β†’ Public Feed and click Enable public feed. DemandBird generates a unique URL for you that looks like:

https://app.demandbird.com/feed/abc123...

The URL is live immediately β€” no login required to view it. Anyone with the link can open it; it's not listed in a public directory, but it's also not private, so treat it like any other public page.

What's shown

The feed displays your most recent 50 published posts, grouped by year. Each entry shows:

  • The date the post went out
  • The platform it was published to
  • The text content, with any attached images or a video placeholder
  • A View on [platform] link back to the original post, where available

Only posts with posted status appear. Drafts, scheduled posts, failed posts, and posts you've hidden are never shown.

Add a bio

Once the feed is enabled, a Bio field appears on the settings page. Anything you put here shows up under your name at the top of the feed β€” a sentence or two about who you are, what you write about, or what you want visitors to take away. Leave it blank to hide it entirely.

Hiding individual posts

Not everything you publish needs to live in the archive. Open any post from the Library and hide it; it disappears from the feed immediately and stays hidden until you unhide it. The original post on the platform is untouched.

Sharing your feed

Copy the URL from Settings β†’ Public Feed and use it wherever a single link makes sense:

  • The link-in-bio slot on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, or Threads
  • Your email signature or personal site
  • Pitch decks, proposals, or portfolios that need a live view of recent work
  • A reply to β€œcan you send me some examples of what you've been writing?”

Turning it off

Click Disable on the settings page at any time. The public URL stops resolving and returns a 404 for anyone who visits it. Your posts and bio are preserved β€” if you re-enable later, the feed comes back at the same URL with everything intact.
