Bringing the Feed to Your Fans: Scrolling That Sticks

Sports fans love to scroll. They love to get real-time updates on the X or game highlights on TikTok. But with so much uncertainty surrounding various platforms- like the potential of a TikTok ban, shifts on X, and updates from Meta …. It leaves those avenues very unstable. We say social media is a necessary evil - we all use and engage with it but what if you didn’t have to rely on social media platforms to build and engage with your community? Imagine having that scrolling power of social media hosted entirely on your website, creating an experience that keeps fans coming back. That’s where the BoomPress Activity Feed steps in, revolutionizing how sports media websites build loyal communities and deliver real-time content.?

In our previous newsletter, we discussed the need to build thriving digital communities. In it, we discussed how building a community is more than just posting content. It’s about fostering real engagement and creating a centralized hub where your audience can feel connected.? People in today's landscape feel the need for social media to deliver their content and messaging but you can replicate that addictive scrolling and real-time updates with BoomPress’s free feature, the Activity Feed. The Activity Feed drives interaction, fosters community engagement, and creates a space where fans feel connected—without needing to depend on third-party platforms.

What is the Activity Feed??

The activity feed allows for a scrolling, interactive experience where you can post live updates, breaking news, player highlights, or behind-the-scenes content. Think of the activity feed as your version of Reddit or Twitter but with full control (bye-bye algorithms) and it’s hosted where it matters most, on your website.?

Why it matters??

Sports media thrives off of community ecosystems. Fans don’t just want to consume content but they want to interact and feel connected to their teams and other fans. The activity feed is game-changing in assisting in creating these ecosystems for sports media and journalists. Here are just a few reasons why it matters:?

• Increased Engagement: Some websites with the Activity Feed have reported up to a 10+ minute increase in time-on-site per user, meaning your readers stay longer, explore more, and engage deeper with your content. It’s no magic trick though, as you’ll still need to deliver engaging content.?

• Centralized Community: No more losing your audience to social media platforms. The Activity Feed brings fans back to you—their trusted source for the latest updates and conversations.

• Greater Control: Your audience, your rules. Build a loyal following without worrying about shifting algorithms or third-party restrictions.

• Boosted Monetization: An engaged audience means more opportunities for subscriptions, ad revenue, and sponsorships.
