Introduction

The Steam Friend Activity Feed is pretty much a place where you can see what your friends and people that you follow have been up to lately. Steam can display activity since the day you created your Steam account until now, you also do not have to be a premium user to view it. The following can be seen in the activity with the default settings:

Someone unlocking new achievements

Someone adding a new friend

Someone purchasing a new product

Someone joining a new group

Someone creating a new group

Someone adding a product to their wishlist

Someone reviewing a product

Someone uploading a screenshot/artwork

Someone adding a video

Someone posting a status post

You are also notified when:

A group you are in:

Posts an announcement

Schedules an event

Selects the Player of The Week

Promotes a member to admin

Has a comment posted

Workshop items you are interested in post an announcement (Greenlight items as well)

A Store Curator you follow recommends a new game

A user you follow creates a new item

When you are in someone's screenshot

Where to access the Activity Feed from

The activity feed is the first in the drop-down menu under you name on both the Steam client and the web version. Your Activity Feed can only be viewed by yourself.

Make it show up when you open your Steam Client

You can set it to show up first when you open your Steam client by going to Steam > Settings > Interface > Favorite Window > Friend Activity

How to follow users whose posts you want in your Activity Feed

You can do that by going to their profile and pressing on the "More" button, then clicking follow. Same thing goes for unfollowing them.

Users might link you to their guide/workshop page to follow them, you have to click on the blue button: "Follow user" to start following them. As the page says, following them will make their Steam Guides, Steam Collections or Workshop/Greenlight items show up in your feed. You don't have to be friends with them to follow them.

How to Post to The Activity Feed

Screenshots you take, achievements you unlock, items you add to your favorites, artwork you publish and everything else is automatically to the feed and can be viewed by your friends and followers.

Here are two really good guides made by Jimo on contributing to the Steam Community:
