There are no activities in your newsfeed: SharePoint 2010

You set up your My Sites host, and the newsfeed web part on My newsfeed is not showing any news feeds and displaying “STAY CONNECTED ! There are no activities in your newsfeed.” message

This is a common frustration out there in the SharePoint user community. I have seen lots of posts from people pulling their hair out trying to get Activities to show up.

This could be because you have not enabled the news feed for mysites. Please follow the steps below to do so.

1. Go to central admin user profile service.

2. Under My Site Settings click on Setup Mysites

3. Enable newsfeed

4. Enable Activity Feed Job

a) On the Central Administration Web site, on the Quick Launch, click Monitoring.
b) On the Monitoring page, in the Timer Jobs section, click Review job definitions.
c) On the Job Definitions page, in the list of timer jobs, click User Profile Service Application – Activity Feed Job.
d) On the Edit Timer Job page, in the Recurring Schedule section, specify when you want the timer job to run, and then click Enable.

Once the job is finished Stay connected message will disappear and you should start seeing the activity feed.
