You can share any of your interest feeds with others on Smashing, allowing them to add it to their own set of interest feeds or to merge it into one of their existing interest feeds.
Why should you share an interest feed?
When you’ve tuned an interest feed by adding just the right topics, marking articles as “more like this” or “less like this”, voting on articles, and/or adding the best relevant articles you’ve found outside of Smashing, you can share all that valuable curation work with others, helping them get the same great article recommendations you’re receiving. This helps people new to Smashing get up and running—and reading—more quickly.
Plus, when you upvote articles in Smashing, more people will see those upvoted articles if you help them get set up with the interest feeds you’re upvoting in. This builds your reputation as a curator and helps you earn Curator Points when other people upvote articles after you have.
Similarly, when you share an interest feed with others and they upvote articles in it, your feed will get even better, and you’ll get to see what articles your friends are upvoting and sharing.
What’s shared when you share an interest feed?
Your name and username
Interest title (e.g., Artificial Intelligence)
Topics (e.g., Generative AI, OpenAI, Anthropic AI, etc.)
Favorite/blocked sources (e.g., OpenAI blog, MIT Technology Review, etc.)
Anything you’ve upvoted
Any other shared feeds you’ve merged into your feed
The history of articles you’ve read and/or marked as “more like this” or “less like this” is not shared, but it will influence what gets recommended in the feed. This lets you share more of your “taste” in articles without revealing which specific articles you’ve read or marked as “more like this” or “less like this.”
How do you share an interest feed?
To share an interest feed, go to that feed in For You and tap the share icon in the upper right of the screen.
This lets you copy a link to the feed, which you can share with anyone. Note: anyone with the link can access the feed.
