## Switching from Buffer

1. **Export what you need from Buffer** Download any posts, analytics or lists you want to keep. Buffer doesn't hold your LinkedIn data hostage — it lives on LinkedIn itself.
2. **Install the MyFeedIn Chrome extension** One-click install from the Chrome Web Store. Sign in with LinkedIn — no credit card, no setup call.
3. **Build your first custom feed in 2 minutes** Add the creators you actually want to read and MyFeedIn turns that into a distraction-free feed you can open anytime.
4. **Cancel Buffer when you're ready** Most users keep both for a week to compare. Once MyFeedIn is part of your routine, cancelling is one click — no lock-in either way.

## FAQ

### Buffer vs MyFeedIn — which should I choose?

They do completely different things. Buffer schedules your posts. MyFeedIn organizes your feed and helps you engage. Most users benefit from both.

### Does Buffer help with LinkedIn engagement?

Buffer can schedule posts but doesn't help with feed curation, focus mode, or strategic engagement. That's where MyFeedIn shines.

### Is Buffer's LinkedIn support good?

Buffer supports LinkedIn posting but it's a generalist tool. MyFeedIn is built exclusively for LinkedIn, so its LinkedIn features are more specialized.

### Can I use both?

Absolutely! Buffer for scheduling your posts + MyFeedIn for curating your feed and engaging is a great workflow.
