Or just make it user-side. Let users create their own feed combinations. They'd still have to select a specific instance for posts.

Feeds would be consolidated but posts and comments will still be federated. And one user will be unaffected by how another user organizes their feed.

Advice for new engineers

Don't take too long trying to figure out a challenge by yourself. Ask questions. Unlike in school, you are allowed to ask for help with your work.

Learn how to write unit testable code as soon as possible (SOLID principles). Learn how to write concise and relevant unit tests. If it's not in your team's culture to write unit tests, then you go be that guy. It's good for you and it's good for the product. Unit tests are one of the few things in the programming community that everybody believes are a good thing.

How do you setup a software development team?

Form a starting team based on skill sets and let them do the rest. Give them a project and they will tell you what they need if they feel assured that you have the capability and will to help them. You want the team to cater to the product, not to the manager because manager satisfaction does not bring value to the organization or the customer. You only need to manage more closely if for some reason you were only able to gather junior devs.

What's the best approach to learn c# and .NET for java dev?

I honestly just winged it. I came from C++ so you're in a much better position to learn .NET than I was. There's little need to get into the syntax. You can pretty much just wing it. It's just OOP after all. You could probably look for some crash courses so that you can speedrun the language differences but other than that, you'll do just fine using the official documentation.

Microsoft has free resources for their frameworks.
