A firehose is a feed of posts that includes everything possible, including silo posts, as opposed to a filtered or curated subset as in a composite stream.

Related concepts include all pages and lifestreaming.

One usage of the term "firehose" was Mark Pilgrim's firehose.diveintomark.org, which combined his Reddit comments, del.icio.us, and blog posts.

Bluesky describes their firehose as an "authenticated stream of events used to efficiently sync user updates (posts, likes, follows, handle changes, etc)" in Advanced Guides / Firehose

IndieWeb Examples

Chris Aldrich

Chris Aldrich's homepage has a 'firehose' link, which links to a full feed of all of his posts. He also has links to feeds of individual post types.

"I did this particularly as with increasing varieties of content and content types on my site, I don't expect that everyone will necessarily want the "firehose" feed, but may prefer to read subsections of content by post types, categories, or tags." [1]

Barry Frost

Barry Frost has an 'All' link in his header menu, which links to a full feed of all of his posts. He also has links to individual pages for smaller feeds of other post types.

Jamie Tanna

Jamie Tanna has an 'All Posts' link in his header, similar to Barry Frost's, which he has had available since 2020-05-03, and announced the day after to make it less noisy with i.e. his Twitter likes.

Joe Crawford

Joe Crawford has an experimental Firehose page which includes posts from his site, plus some from Mastodon, GitHub, StackOverflow, and even MetaFilter RSS feeds

Naty S

Naty S has an /all page accessible from the top navigation menu, listing all the content from her Hugo blog since 2025-01-01. It displays the title (or truncated summary if it's a note as those are title-less), date, and post type. The page has microformat markup, like h-feed, p-name, h-entry, dt-published, etc.
