function disable_posts_feed_link($show) {
    $show = false;
    return $show;

function show_posts_feed_link_logged_in_users($show) {

add_filter('feed_links_show_posts_feed', 'show_posts_feed_link_on_front_page');
function show_posts_feed_link_on_front_page($show) {
    if (is_front_page()) {
        return $show;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Display posts feed link only for specific post types

To show the posts feed link only for specific post types, use the get_post_type() function.

add_filter('feed_links_show_posts_feed', 'show_posts_feed_link_for_specific_post_type');
function show_posts_feed_link_for_specific_post_type($show) {
    if (get_post_type() == 'your_post_type') {
        return $show;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

To show the posts feed link based on the user’s role, use the current_user_can() function.

add_filter('feed_links_show_posts_feed', 'show_posts_feed_link_for_admins');
function show_posts_feed_link_for_admins($show) {
    if (current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        return $show;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
