Feeds on RebelMouse
A feed is a stream of content that you can scroll through. The content appears in similar-looking blocks that repeat one after the other.
Web Feed
Web feed (or news feed) is a data format that provides users with frequently updated content.
Web feeds are designed to be machine-readable rather than human-readable. They can also be used to automatically transfer information from one website to another without any human intervention.
Common web feed formats are:
- Atom
- JSON Feed
- RSS
Our default Feed Structure
All RebelMouse sites have automatically generated RSS and JSON feeds of their home page, sections, and subsections, but we support the ability to create custom feeds.
RSS Feed Structure
Full Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/feed.rss
Section-based Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/section.rss
Subsection-based Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/section/subsection.rss
JSON Feed Structure
Full Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/feed.json
Section-based Feed = {site_domain}/feed/section.json
Subsection-based Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/community/writer.json
We also explain a little more about Feed Structure: RSS Feed Structure - RebelMouse.When Feeds are used

- Most common news aggregators used::

GraphQL Feed Builder Structure
Path: r/dashboard/feed_builder
The columns on the dashboard represent the following items:
- Name: The name of the feed. The name of the feed is used in the feed URL (e.g., {site_domain}/customfeeds/feed/archive_wellness_library/json)
- Basic Authentication (Optional): If the feed has a base auth enabled in this column, we will show a password that is colon-separated: {user}:{password} (e.g., wellness:library)
- Errors: If there are any errors in the feed, the errors will be listed in this column;
- Get Feed URL: The links to all the feed formats (e.g., JSON, RSS, Atom, XML);
- Edit
- Delete

Comments Moderation Tools
Moderation Tools
There are 3 types of basic controls for comments:
Check: approves the comment.
X: rejects/bans the comment. The original commenter who posted it can see it, but the rest of the community won't.
Heart: Features the comment at the top of the commenting list in the post it was written on.
How to Reply as a Moderator
Any comment on the Comments Dashboard page will have the Reply button in the Actions column. Once clicked, a new pop-up will open allowing you to write a comment. After writing the comment, click on Save.
Bulk actions
You can also bulk Check, X, or Heart comments in the dashboard. You can mark the checkbox in the left corner column to do it. After that, the bulk options will appear at the top right corner to be selected.
Sorting and filtering
The Comments Dashboard can be filtered and sorted in many ways:
Filter by Status
Filter by Author : This filter will only work if there are any comments present on the current status filter. If there are comments, you can filter them to show comments from one specific author.
Minimum and Maximum words: On the gear button, a new pop-up appears to allow you to choose the minimum and maximum amount of words of the comments to be shown in the dashboard.
