Rawfeed

Rawfeed is an open-source microblogging platform with chronological feeds, text-only posts, and built-in RSS integration. It is designed for people who want a simple, algorithm-free social publishing experience.

Rawfeed

Overview

Rawfeed is an open-source microblogging platform centered on chronological feeds, text-based posts, and built-in RSS access. The product is designed for people who want a simpler social publishing experience without algorithmic ranking or recommendation systems.

The site presents Rawfeed as both a social network and a personal microblog. Users can follow others, publish short text updates, and either use a rawfeed.social profile or point a custom domain to their profile as a personal publishing destination.

Features

Chronological feeds

Posts are shown in the order they were published, so the feed reflects time rather than ranking or recommendation systems.

Direct follow behavior

Following a user means seeing their posts consistently, with no algorithm deciding which posts surface or disappear.

Text-only publishing

Rawfeed is text-based and limits posts to 400 characters, keeping the format focused on short written updates.

Built-in RSS feeds

Every profile includes an RSS feed, letting readers subscribe outside the platform and keep control of how they read updates.

Open source and transparent

The project publishes its source code and positions itself as community-owned and transparent, with no hidden agendas.

Privacy-first operation

The site states that Rawfeed does not track users or sell data, and presents privacy as part of the product design.

Use cases

  • Simple chronological posting

    Publish short written updates in a feed that shows posts in the order they were written, without algorithmic reshuffling.

  • Direct audience building

    Follow people and receive their posts directly, with the follow action behaving as a straightforward subscription.

  • Personal microblogging

    Point a personal domain to a profile and use Rawfeed as a lightweight publishing home for a personal brand or identity.

  • External feed reading

    Subscribe to profiles through RSS if you prefer reading updates in an external feed reader instead of inside the platform.

  • Community participation

    Watch an open-source, budget-transparency-focused project while contributing code, design, or general support as it develops.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Chronological feeds keep the timeline ordered by publication time.
  • Built-in RSS support makes it easier to follow profiles outside the platform.
  • Open-source source code and transparent budgeting give users more visibility into how the project runs.
  • The product is privacy-first and says it does not track users or sell data.

Cons

  • The site says Rawfeed is still in active development and not ready for public use.
  • Publishing is text-only with a 400-character limit, so it is not aimed at image- or video-heavy posting.
  • The current funding model is personal out-of-pocket support, which the site notes could change later if costs require it.
