+Linked tt-rss instances
+=======================
+
+TL;DR: If you connect instances of tt-rss together, you’ll be able to
+see feeds from linked instances in Subscribe to feed ~~\> More feeds~~\>
+Popular dialog.
+
+See also: \#270
+
+Since version:1.5.3 it is possible to connect independent installations
+of Tiny Tiny RSS to share feed subscription information displayed in
+Popular feeds. The idea is that by connecting instances it would be
+easier to subscribe to potentially interesting content. The code is
+considered experimental but it seems to work.
+
+The functionality is available in Preferences (Linked tab) and should be
+self explanatory. Setup connections on both ends of a link using the
+same access key and you should be good to go - tt-rss would
+automatically ping the links once in 6 hours. You can erase the last
+connection timestamp by editing and saving the linked instance in the
+Preferences.
+
+All information shared is anonymous and doesn’t identify your users.
+Feeds which are marked as excluded from the feed browser or configured
+with login/password are excluded from the Popular feeds browser and not
+shared in any way.
+
+Tiny Tiny RSS doesn’t reshare feed subcription acquired from linked
+instances - i.e. only local feeds are shared between instances.
