What types of posts are in a feed?

I was wondering what all the possible types of posts I can expect in a feed. The documentation at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/ mentions that the type field could be link, video, and photo, but that's clearly not a comprehensive list. I know that there are at least the following possible types (because I've seen them): status, link, video, photo, checkin, note, swf, and music.

But are there more that I'm missing? Is there a complete list of these types somewhere?

I know of someone who says that they've seen event attendance and friendship acceptance posts in their home feed (from /me/feed), but I can't seem to recreate that. Are those also types of posts that I could expect?

Do public group posts appear in News Feed?

One of the more intriguing updates Facebook revealed is that it will surface discussions from public groups elsewhere on its platform. When you share a link or post, you might see related discussions from groups, including ones you're not a member of, appear in your News Feed.

What does post Feed mean?

Your Instagram feed includes posts from accounts you follow, suggested posts and ads from businesses that may be interesting and relevant to you. You can find more information on why you're seeing a post in your feed by tapping (Android) or (iPhone) above a post, then tapping Why you're seeing this post.

What is a Feed post on Facebook?

Feed is the constantly updating list of stories in the middle of your home page. Feed includes status updates, photos, videos, links, app activity and likes from people, Pages and groups that you follow on Facebook.

It appears that currently there is no official list from a FB resource. The closest thing I could find was a related StackOverflow question

I would suggest reaching out to their developer community directly, and, of course, providing a link here once you've done so!
