Generating a user-specific profile feed associated with a visitation state for presentation to a user of a social networking system

Abstract:

A social networking system provides a user with a newsfeed that includes content selected by the social networking system for presentation to the user and allows the user to request a user-specific profile feed associated with an additional user connected to the user on the social networking system. The user-specific profile feed includes content received from the additional user and designated by the additional user as eligible for presentation in a user-specific profile feed associated with the additional user. If the user requests to view the user-specific profile feed, the social networking system generates and presents the user with the user-specific profile feed including the designated content and information identifying the additional user from whom the content was received. The social networking system stores a visitation state identifying the user presented with the user-specific profile feed and provides information describing the visitation state to the additional user.
