A social feed aggregator is a web, mobile, or desktop application that collects and displays user-generated content from one or more social networks. Social feed aggregation apps often include tools for importing social media posts into a custom feed. Users can then view this data in aggregate or read detail views of individual posts.

Social feed aggregator apps are similar to most other social networking apps, but with a primary focus on user-generated content (UGC) in the form of images and videos. A few popular social feed aggregator apps include Reddit, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tumblr.

A social feed aggregator needs to accomplish three things in order to grow its user base. First, it needs to convince users that it provides a superior user experience compared to competitors. Second, it needs to show users that there is a large pool of eligible users already on the platform. Third, it needs to demonstrate that it can get users the maximum amount of attention for their content by connecting them with other relevant users through the app's social features. To accomplish these goals, social feed aggregators need to emphasize their unique selling propositions and be sure not to make any design or UI decisions that undermine the quality of their product.

A social feed aggregator app faces legal and reputational risks associated with user misrepresentation of identity, the storage of sensitive personal information, and harassment taking place on the platform. Social feed aggregators should take strong measures to verify user identities and provide users with safety mechanisms for blocking other users. It is recommended that social feed aggregators provide robust mechanisms for reporting platform abuse and conduct routine security audits to prevent unauthorized access to user data.
