Microfeed List

The Microfeed List

• Stores all activity related to the user
• Activities can be user or system generted
• Admins control waht system-genearated activities appear
• Syatem-generated activites are security trimmed

The App Fabric Cache plays a key role in the delivery of the microfeed.

For extending the Microfeed, there are CSOM and REST APIs that help expose the microfeed that allow developers to create solutions that interact and extend those social capabilities.

The Microfeed is driven around 'following.' You can follow the following:

• People
• Sites
• Documents
• Tags

Behind the scenes, these are all followed based on a GUID.

• Updates the post author's microfeed

Disable Microfeed

The Microfeed List is intrinsic to social activities and newsfeeds, and is present on any site that has the site feed feature activated. Since the newsfeed is enabled by default in the 2016 team site template, you'll see the Microfeed list out there on all team site-based sites.

To disable, in Site Settings -> Site Features, deactivite the Site Feed Feature.
