Bridgy door Ryan B

Bridgy connects your web site to social media, as part of the IndieWeb. This extension provides backfeed for Facebook, ie pulls back comments and likes on your Facebook posts to your web site. See the Bridgy docs for more background and details.

Your web site needs to support IndieAuth. When you install the extension, it opens a Bridgy page for you to IndieAuth into your site. After that, it runs in the background, forwarding Facebook responses to Bridgy to send back to your site. You can see status info and poke it on the extension settings page.

This extension is not currently compatible with the Facebook Container extension. If you use that, you'll need to disable it. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Bridgy originally used Facebook's API to do this, but they later restricted that API. Fortunately users can still log into and use Facebook legitimately in their browser, so this extension lets them send their own data to Bridgy, automatically.
