Viewing and filtering your feed

How to Filter and View Your Feed in Aware

When you're engaging on LinkedIn through Aware, the feeds offer several powerful filters to help you prioritize the right posts—at the right time. Whether you're managing outreach, keeping up with friends, or tracking influencers, these filters make engagement more strategic and less chaotic.

Here’s a breakdown of the four main ways you can filter and refine your feed.

The Aware feed filters section at the top of each feed

1. Choose Which Feed to View

At the top-left of the Custom Feeds section, use the List Selector dropdown to choose:

• All lists: Combine every person you've added to any list.

• A specific list (e.g., “Friends,” “Personal Branding,” “Prospects” or others you’ve created): Show only posts from the people in that list.

This lets you segment your feed by relationship type, goal, or campaign.

(If you want to learn about building good commenting lists, we’ve written about that here.)

2. Sort the Posts

Next to the list filter, use the Sort By dropdown to control the order in which posts appear:

• Newest vs Oldest: Most or least recently published posts first.

• Most vs Least engagements: Prioritize posts with high or low engagement.

Sorting helps you focus on either visibility, recency, or opportunities for deeper relationship-building (such as oldest, less-engaged-on posts where your comment is very likely to stand out).

3. Limit the Number of Posts per User

Use the Posts/User Slider to avoid getting flooded by overly active posters. Options include limiting to 1, 2, or more posts per user per refresh.

For example:

• Set it to Max 1 post/user to ensure you're seeing a wider variety of people

• Useful when your lists include very active creators and you want balance

This prevents single voices from dominating your feed.

Or, if this isn’t important for your use case, allow many posts per creator and go to town!

4. Adjust the Lookback Period

Use the Date Lookback Filter to control how recent the posts are. You can select:

• Today only

• Last 1–7 days

• Custom ranges (e.g., “within 4 days”)

Narrowing your window ensures you're only commenting on content that’s still fresh and likely to result in engagement or replies, if that’s what you’re going for; or, if you are intentionally looking for older content where the buzz has died down and you can stand out, you can extend this window.

Remember: being first is not always best!

Example Use Cases

• Prospecting? Filter to a specific list, sort by oldest, limit to 1 post per person, and look back up to 14 days. Sort by Least to Most engagements.

• Keeping up with peers? Use “All lists,” sort by newest, and show 2 posts per user. (Or, use the Top Inbound feed).

• Boosting visibility on popular accounts? Sort by most engagements and comment early in the day on high-reach posts.
