how to use Newsfeed in sharepoint foundation site

Question

I had SharePoint foundation and I need to use the NewsFeed.

So how can I make the web part available outside of MySites?

You will have to add newsfeed webpart to any page where you need it.See this sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/78227/… — Unnie, Nov 19, 2014 at 15:25

I think in order to use the social feature you need the SharePoint Server 2013.

Because their is no UPA/Mysite in SPF so you cannt use it as far i know.

So do you have any idea how can I proceed. Do I need to Create and delete posts and retrieve the social feed by using the JavaScript object model in SharePoint 2013?? like this msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj164025.aspx

You can activate it by following these simple steps:

At the top of the site, click Settings > Site settings.
From the Site settings page find Site Actions then under it click Manage site features.
From the list of feature, find Site Feed then click the Activate button (if not yet activated).
Go back to your Site homepage and you should now see the Newsfeed link added from the left navigation panel. If you cannot see it, try to refresh the page. (Or Edit Page and add the webpart which is listed under Social Collaboration (Site Feeds))
