Which posts in an RSS feed are made public?

This depends on two things:

1) A post that appears in the RSS feed of a particular group has to be searchable and readable for everyone. The moderator controls this setting for the entire group.

2) In addition, the author of a post has to approve its release in an RSS feed in their privacy settings. Please click on http://www.xing.com/app/user?op=privacy_settings and check the "Make my posts in public groups available to search engines" box.

Please also note that RSS feeds only display posts in a certain language – depending upon the forum in which they appear. For example, posts in an English-speaking forum are automatically treated as English texts. Here is an example of an English-speaking RSS feed: http://www.xing.com/generated/rss/en-rssfeed2.0.xml

RSS feeds are only updated at certain time intervals, e.g. every five minutes.
