Frequently Asked Questions
What is DegenFeed?
DegenFeed is an open-source multi-protocol social aggregator for web3. It displays posts from Nostr, Farcaster, Lens, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Reddit, and RSS feeds in a single unified timeline. No account is needed to browse.
How does aggregation work?
We pull public posts from each protocol via their open APIs, normalize them to a common format, rank them by engagement and recency, and display them in your feed. Nothing is stored or archived beyond what is needed to serve feeds.
Do I need an account?
No. Browsing DegenFeed is completely free and requires no sign-up. Creating an account unlocks posting, tipping, cross-posting across protocols, and a free @degenfeed.xyz handle on the Fediverse.
Is DegenFeed open source?
Yes. DegenFeed is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The full source code is available on git.rugmunch.io and codeberg.org. Contributions are welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.
What is the premium tier?
Premium ($5/mo) adds advanced filtering, custom feeds, noise reduction, and priority support. Creator tier ($15/mo) unlocks analytics, cross-posting, and post scheduling.
How do I get a @degenfeed.xyz handle?
Visit social.degenfeed.xyz, connect your wallet, and request an account with a brief reason for joining. Approvals are usually processed within 24 hours. Your handle works across the entire Fediverse via ActivityPub.
How does federation work?
DegenFeed runs a GotoSocial instance at social.degenfeed.xyz that federates via ActivityPub. This means your @degenfeed.xyz account can follow and be followed by users on Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and other Fediverse platforms.
What is ActivityPub?
ActivityPub is a W3C standard for decentralized social networking. It powers Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, PeerTube, GotoSocial, and millions of federated accounts. It is the protocol that makes the Fediverse work without a central server.
Can I post from DegenFeed?
Yes. Connect your accounts (Nostr, Bluesky, Mastodon, Farcaster, Lens) and use the DegenFeed composer. Posts are sent directly to your chosen protocol. You can cross-post to multiple protocols simultaneously with a Creator subscription.
What wallets are supported?
Solana wallets (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare) and EVM wallets (MetaMask, Rainbow, WalletConnect). Wallets are used for sign-in and for tipping creators.
How do tips work?
Tip ETH, SOL, or USDC directly to any post. Tips go directly to the creator's wallet with no intermediary. Lightning Network support is in development.
Is my data sold?
No. DegenFeed does not sell data, does not run ads, and does not track users beyond what is needed to serve feeds. Premium subscriptions fund development.
How do I delete my account?
Data deletion is available via /api/account/delete. For GotoSocial accounts, manage your account at social.degenfeed.xyz.
Is there an RSS feed?
Yes. Subscribe to /api/feed/rss.xml in your RSS reader to get DegenFeed's top posts. Atom format is also available at /api/feed/atom.xml.
