what's the meaning of ""feeds of" in this sentence. Unlike users of Instagram, who mainly browse feeds of pictures posted by people they follow, Douyin’s fans commonly use the app to watch hot-trending videos posted by users they do not know under categories such as “food” and “scenicspots”.

"feeds of" is not a set pairing, which may have led to your confusion. Feed in this sentence is a modern day noun usage which refers to the list of pictures or statuses on the front page of a social media site, such as Facebook or Instagram. Of in this sentence is just the preposition to connect to the subject of pictures to the word feed, which is the list that I mentioned above.

Here, “of” is a preposition that introduces the adjective phrase “pictures posted by people they follow.” That adjective phrase describes what is in the “feeds.” You could rewrite as “feeds that consist of pictures posted . . . “

Here the word "feed" is used to talk about the content you see on social media pages. For example, if I'm on facebook, I scroll down the page and all the different posts from people I see are my "feed". For Instagram, I scroll down the page and see pictures from the different people I am following. This is my "Instagram feed", it's basically just the content I see from everyone on my social media page.
