Making the Newsfeed web part available outside of My Sites in SharePoint 2013

This is actually a web part titled Newsfeed, and can be found under the Social Collaboration category. Now, you may want to have the Newsfeed on the homepage of your main portal rather than My Site. To make this web part available in your site collection, you will need to activate the feature with title “My Site Layouts Feature“. This is a hidden site collection feature so you will need to use SharePoint Manager or PowerShell. The feature ID is 6928B0E5-5707-46a1-AE16-D6E52522D52B. Its physical location under {SharePointRoot} is TEMPLATE\FEATURES\MySiteLayouts.
This feature brings a number of other web parts and also the MySite.master master page. Check its manifest for further details.
Enable-SPFeature -Identity 6928B0E5-5707-46a1-AE16-D6E52522D52B -Url http://yourSiteCollection

The SiteFeedWebPart is in the Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls namespace.

Making My Tasks web part available outside of MySites

The My Tasks web part exists in MySites by default, and can be found under the Content Rollup category. To make this web part available outside of MySites, activate the “My Tasks Dashboard” feature.

This is a hidden Web-scoped feature. The feature ID is 89D1184C-8191-4303-A430-7A24291531C9, and the feature folder under SharePointRoot is MyTasksDashboard.
