Overview
LinkedIn's default feed can be overwhelming and filled with content you don't care about.
But there's a workaround: you can create custom feeds to see only posts from specific people you want to follow. This guide shows you how to set up theme-based feeds (like "Industry Leaders," "Team Members," or "Clients") so you can browse LinkedIn more intentionally.
Note: This currently only works on desktop/computer, not on the mobile app.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Start a LinkedIn Search
Go to LinkedIn on your computer
Click into the search bar at the top of your screen
Press Enter without typing anything
This loads a blank search page you can customize
You should see: An empty search results page
Step 2: Add a "Posts" Filter
On the left sidebar, look for the filter options
Click on "Posts" (if it isn't already selected)
This ensures you only see posts, not profiles or company pages
Filtering by "Posts" keeps your feed focused on actual content, not search results
Step 3: Sort by Latest
Look for the "Sort By" dropdown at the top of the results
Click it and select "Latest"
This shows the newest posts first instead of LinkedIn's algorithm-driven order
Now you'll see: The most recent posts appear at the top
Step 4: Add Members to Your Feed
This is where it gets powerful.
Look for the "From Member" dropdown in the filters on the left
Click it and start typing names of people you want to follow
Select each person from the dropdown as you type
As you add people, the feed updates in real-time to show only their posts
Step 5: Bookmark Your Custom Feed
Once you've added all the people you want, look at your browser's URL bar
Bookmark the page (Ctrl+D on Windows, Cmd+D on Mac)
Give it a descriptive name that reflects the theme
Examples: "LinkedIn - Marketing Leaders," "LinkedIn - CS Community," "LinkedIn - Product People"
Save the bookmark to a folder for easy access
Success: You now have a custom LinkedIn feed saved!
Managing Your Custom Feeds
Adding New People to an Existing Feed
Open your bookmarked feed
Click the "From Member" dropdown again
Add the new person
Update your bookmark:
Option 1: Edit the existing bookmark's URL
Option 2: Save a new bookmark and delete the old one
Creating Multiple Feeds
Repeat the process above for different themes:
Industry Experts - Thought leaders in your field
Colleagues - Current and former teammates
Clients - People you work with directly
Competitors - What others in your space are sharing
Mentors - People whose advice you value
Organizing Your Bookmarks
Create a LinkedIn Feeds bookmark folder in your browser:
Right-click your bookmarks bar
Add a new folder called "LinkedIn Feeds"
Store all your custom feeds there
