Fediverse Custom Feeds are a powerful technology!

And are one piece in creating a "plug-in" system for the Fediverse.

The UI/UX part of a Fediverse Custom Feed is making apps understand what to do with a Actor type="Feed" actor.

For example — when the user "Follows" an Actor type="Feed" actor, then the app could make the content from that actor show up next to the home-feed, as an alternative feed.

The Protocol part of a Fediverse Custom Feed is a new Actor Type — the "Feed".

We already have Actor Types:

• Application
• Group
• Organization
• Person
• Service

Add "Feed" to that list.
