[unoabraham] Any updates to Bridgy plugin? Still cannot link to accounts from the plugin interface.
#

#
aaronpk I kind of want all the backfeed from that post on my site
#
aaronpk shouldn't bridgy be able to find it from my original post which links to it as a syndicated url?

#
[unoabraham] [aaronpk] From what I've seen, unless Bridgy syndicates the content, it doesn't show up as backfeed. IFTTT syndicated content doesn't show up as backfeed, but when Bridgy plugin was working/syndicating, it also used to link in as backfeed on my blog.

[snarfed] [unoabraham] bridgy definitely backfeeds to posts it didn't syndicate. pretty much all of aarompk's site of like that!
#
[snarfed] [aaronpk] it doesn't currently do posse post discovery from synd links, largely because it's not very reliable across silo apis, but it's worth revisiting

#
aaronpk I think I said that backwards
#
aaronpk I expected bridgy to be able to find the facebook post because my site links to it
#
aaronpk but I see this followup now so it looks like it isn't possible at all https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/804#issuecomment-377242084

Loqi [snarfed] looks like i can't fetch life events by id from the API either. [`/11500459_10103825808505996?fields=...`](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=11500459_10103825808505996%3Ffields%3Did%2Capplication%2Ccaption%2Ccomments%2Cc...

[unoabraham] Thanks... that sent me on a 30 min search and fix. IFTTT was set to share posts as "Friends Only", Bridgy only works with "Public". Now the Likes are showing up.

snarfed it's early still, but i think i may have cut bridgy's hosting cost in half with https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/commit/b35e553a90534a132a1fdf8f167b1714b2bbde2f
