Every public curation and every Linkstream has a Web Feed, so anyone can follow it in a feed reader without an account. A curator can also show a public curation’s newest links on their own website with a Curation Embed.

​
Where is a curation’s feed?

Paste the curation’s or profile’s address into a feed reader. Its page tells readers where its feeds are. You can also add the feed’s file name to the end of the address yourself:

​
What does a feed include?

A curation’s feed has its 50 newest links, and a Linkstream’s feed has the 20 newest. Each entry is the link, with the curator’s title and author if they set them, their note, and when they added it. It ends with the curation it’s in and its curator. Changes reach the feed within a minute. Reordering links or editing a note doesn’t mark an entry as new.

​
Does following a feed subscribe me?

No. A feed reader reads the feed on its own schedule, and the curator isn’t told who follows it. To have a curation delivered by email, text, phone call, webhook, or agent, choose Subscribe on the curation.

​
Which curations have feeds?

Only public ones. Unlisted and private curations have no feed, and a curation’s feed stops within a minute of it becoming unlisted or private. A Linkstream’s feed, like the Linkstream, includes only links in public curations. If a curator changes their username, feed readers following the old address are sent to the new one.

​
How do I embed a curation on my site?

In your public curation, choose Share in the toolbar, then Copy embed code, and paste the code into your site’s HTML. It shows the curation’s title, curator, and cover image, then its links, newest first. The title and cover image open the curation, and the curator’s name opens their profile. The embed always shows the curation as it is now: new links, a new cover image, or a new title appear on your site without changing the code. If the curation stops being public, the embed says it can’t be shown.

​
Can I change its size?

Yes. Change the height in the code. The embed shows the curation’s 50 newest links and scrolls through whatever doesn’t fit; a shadow along its bottom edge shows there’s more. A curation with more than 50 ends with a line that counts the rest and opens the curation. Add ?theme=dark to the address in the code’s src for a dark background, as in …/embed?theme=dark.

​
Does the embed track my visitors?

No. It runs no scripts, sets no cookies, and loads nothing but its own page and the curation’s cover image. Links in it open in a new tab.

​
Can I paste a curation’s address into an editor instead?

In editors that look up oEmbed, yes: pasting a public curation’s address inserts its embed. Pasting a profile’s address makes a link card.
