🧼 TL;DR:
Global = Everyone is auto-added
Public = Anyone can find and join
Private = Visible, but join requests must be approved
Closed = Invite-only and hidden from search
🌍 Global Feeds
Everyone in the company is automatically added
Often used for: company-wide announcements, HR updates, compliance
Admins control posting access
✅ Best for: ensuring every user sees essential info without needing to join manually
🟢 Public Feeds
Anyone in the org can find and join instantly
Feed is visible in search
Good for general interest or open team updates
✅ Best for: cross-team collaboration, wellness groups, shared wins, DEI
🔒 Private Feeds
Visible in search, but users must request to join
An admin or moderator must approve access
Still great for focused team communication
✅ Best for: department-level updates, manager groups, or training cohorts
🕵️ Closed Feeds
Not visible in search
Invite-only—only users added directly will see it
Totally hidden to everyone else
✅ Best for: leadership-only updates, sensitive projects, early-stage pilots
💡 Pro Tip:
Choose your visibility based on who should see the feed—not just who’s allowed to post in it.
Example: Use a Private Feed for store leads across locations. They’ll be able to request access if they weren’t added yet—but the rest of the org won’t flood it.
