How to use the engagement feed

Commenting on other people's posts is the fastest way to grow on LinkedIn, and the easiest thing to drop when you are busy. The engagement feed puts the people who matter in one screen, so your daily round takes ten minutes instead of an hour of scrolling.

You build lists of profiles, MagicPost pulls in their latest posts, and you react and comment without ever opening LinkedIn.

Your LinkedIn account must be connected and is available for Creator plans, Team and Agency plans.

Build your first list

Open Engagement and click Create my first list of profiles.

1. Name your list and give it an icon. Prospects, colleagues, creators in your niche: whatever grouping matches how you actually work.

2. Add the profiles. Search by name, pick from the recommendations, or paste a LinkedIn profile URL directly.

3. Review and create.

A list holds up to 49 profiles. That is a hard limit, and a healthy one: nobody engages meaningfully with more than fifty people a day. Create several lists rather than trying to stretch one.

Adding someone takes a moment: MagicPost has to fetch their profile in the background, which can take up to a few minutes. Their card shows a loading state until it lands.

You can add or remove profiles later with Manage this list.

Work your feed

The feed shows the latest post of each profile in your list. Click a profile to open their post history if you want more.

To make your daily round efficient, use the display options:

• Sort by most recent, most liked, or most commented.

• Hide posts you have already liked or commented: the list empties as you work through it, so you always know where you stopped.

• Show only today's posts to stay on fresh content, where a comment actually gets seen.

React and comment

Click a post to open it.

React with any of the six LinkedIn reactions: like, love, congratulations, appreciation, interest, entertainment. Click to like, hover to pick another one.

Comment directly in the panel. You can mention people with @, add an emoji, attach an image or a GIF.

You can edit or delete your comment afterwards. Deleting it from MagicPost deletes it on LinkedIn too.

Click the three dots on a post for more: view the profile directly on LinkedIn, see every post from that person, or manage which lists they belong to, all without leaving the feed.

Save the comments you write over and over

Behind the bookmark icon in the comment editor sits Saved comments, reusable comment templates.

Save a handful of openers you actually use, and your round gets faster without turning into copy-paste. A template can carry an image or a GIF too.

Set a goal

Click Objectives to set a daily or weekly target for likes and comments, up to 500 a day, though most people find far fewer is plenty to stay consistent. Three presets: Basic (8 likes, 5 comments a day), Moderate (20/15), Intensive (60/50). Or your own numbers.

Any number works. Having one at all is what makes the daily round a habit rather than a decision.

Download an engagement report

See how much you're engaging, and with whom, from the report icon at the top of the feed.

• Choose what the chart tracks: likes, comments, or both.

• Set the range: top 10, top 5, or top 3 profiles.

• Add your company logo to white-label it.

• Download as JPEG, PNG, or PDF, same as with the Metrics feature.

Two things to know

The feed is not real-time. MagicPost refreshes profiles twice a day on weekdays, in the morning and in the early afternoon. A post published at 3pm will not show up until the next run. If you want it now, hit the refresh button on the list: Refresh posts.

LinkedIn limits how much you can comment. MagicPost imposes no cap, but LinkedIn does, and it will temporarily throttle an account that comments too much too fast. If you hit it, MagicPost tells you plainly. It is not a bug and nothing is broken. Pick it back up tomorrow.

FAQ

Can MagicPost write my comments with AI?

No. Comments in the engagement feed are written by you. That is deliberate: an AI-generated comment reads like an AI-generated comment, and it is the fastest way to burn the credibility you are trying to build. Saved comments give you speed without the tell. What makes a comment land, and get you seen by the author's audience, is covered in how to comment effectively for better reach on LinkedIn.

How many lists can I have?

As many as you want. Each holds up to 49 profiles.

If I remove someone from a list, do I lose their posts?

If it was the only list they were in, MagicPost stops fetching their posts. Add them back and it resumes.

Why can't I comment on this post?

Comments may be disabled on it, the post may have been deleted, or its visibility may have changed. MagicPost tells you which.

My comment did not post.

Usually an expired LinkedIn session. Reconnect your account. If you were mentioning someone, their privacy settings may also block the tag.
