For users to be able to subscribe to Ideas syndication feeds, the following prerequisites are necessary:

- Ideas must be exposed publicly using Salesforce Sites.
- The Categories field must be enabled in Ideas. This field is enabled by default for some organizations.

To subscribe to a syndication feed, click the feeds icon on the following Ideas pages:

- Popular Ideas subtab
- Recent Ideas subtab
- Top All-Time subtab
- Comments subtab
    
    This feed lists comments separately even when they belong to the same idea. Conversely, the Comments subtab groups comments for a single idea together. The Comments subtab shows only the number of recent comments for that idea.
- Recent Activity page
    
    To subscribe to a feed with all the comments posted by a specific member, click the member's name below any of their ideas or comments. Then click the feeds icon on the member's Recent Activity page. When you subscribe to another member's Recent Activity feed, the feed includes recent comments from only that member and no other user.

Note Child ideas (ideas that have been merged with a parent idea) aren’t included in any feeds. Only parent ideas are included.
