Instagram, TikTok and Telegram do not give out a normal RSS feed, but FeedBro can still follow public accounts and channels from them, and public Facebook pages in a limited way. You paste the address, and the new posts arrive in your reading list like any other feed.
Add an account or channel
- Open the profile, channel or page in your browser and copy its address from the address bar.
- In FeedBro, press Add a feed or website and paste the address.
- Press Add.
- For Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, FeedBro says the page is not an RSS feed and offers Watch this page instead. Press it. FeedBro then follows the account and tells you when it is added.
Telegram channels are simpler: they are added straight away at step 3, with no extra button.
What to paste
- Instagram: a public account, such as instagram.com/name. Each new post arrives as an article with its pictures and caption, and carousels keep all their slides. FeedBro adds the account at once and loads the posts in the background, so give it a moment.
- TikTok: an account address such as tiktok.com/@name. A link to one of its videos also works and follows the whole account. Each new video arrives with its cover and caption, and plays in the reading panel.
- Telegram: a public channel such as t.me/name or t.me/s/name. A link to a single post is not a channel, so it will not work.
- Facebook: a public page such as facebook.com/pagename. A share link to a page works too.
Good to know
- Only public accounts work. A private, empty or missing Instagram or TikTok account shows no posts, and FeedBro will say so.
- Instagram, TikTok and Facebook accounts are followed as watched pages, so each one counts toward your watch allowance: 3 on the Free plan, checked once a day, and up to 10 on Coffee Club, checked every hour. A Telegram channel counts as an ordinary feed instead.
- Facebook only shows FeedBro the latest public post of a page. If a page posts several times between two checks, some posts can be missed. Personal profiles, groups and events cannot be followed at all.
- Some Telegram channels turn off their public web preview. FeedBro cannot read those, and it tells you so.
- TikTok sometimes limits how fast it answers FeedBro. When that happens FeedBro pauses and tries again by another route, so a new video can arrive a little late.
- Instagram can refuse requests at any time, so an account may occasionally update late.
Follow the new posts your way
Once an account is in your list, you can put it in a collection, and use Automations to highlight, hide or get an alert for posts that mention a word you care about.
