In more detail
There are two related meanings. Your profile feed is the collection of permanent posts on your account, the grid or list someone sees when they visit you. The home feed is the personalized stream a user scrolls through, pulling posts from accounts they follow plus recommended content. Most platforms rank the home feed with an algorithm rather than showing posts in time order, so what gets seen depends on predicted interest, not just when it was published. Feed posts are the core, lasting format on a network, different from stories or reels that sit in their own spots.
Example
If you post three times a week, your feed is the running column of those posts that someone sees when they tap your profile, plus the mix of posts from accounts they follow that shows up on their home screen.
