Bridgy pulls comments and likes from social networks back to your web site. You can also use it to publish your posts to those networks.
It’s mentioned in the documentation that one can reconstruct URLs to allow manually resending webmentions for missed backfeed. However, it appears this may no longer work(?) as these reconstructed URLs, which used to be static are now automatically redirecting to their siloed instances.
Example: https://brid.gy/post/twitter/schnarfed/476408043819659264
redirects to https://twitter.com/schnarfed/status/476408043819659264
Separately, though related, the example in the documentation for Instagram no longer seems to exist and could be replaced and the example for Google+ could be removed as the service no longer exists.
bridgy’s mf2 URLs redirect with HTML meta refresh. webmentions with them as sources should still work fine! (afaik webmention receivers don’t/shouldn’t follow meta refresh redirects, right?)
i’ve updated the example URLs in the docs. thanks! tentatively closing. feel free to reopen.
