Is there a way to completely delete all mention of an account from bridgy? My Instagram account seems to have stopped working and I’d like to start it all over again.

[stefp]: i assume you're https://brid.gy/instagram/stefp ?

instagram on bridgy is slow and flaky in general, since they turned off the API. bridgy has to scrape, so it often gets rate limited
#

having said that, it looks like your bridgy account is fine, and deleting it/starting over won't change much. it should eventually find your new photo

i need to think more about how to improve this UX. i haven't had many good ideas yet. :/

Thanks. That’s me. I’ll give it a bit more time then.

It does mention rate limits when I click through the Polled link.

IMHO, @MastodonProject should send #Webmentions to linked sites: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/6074 Because it would be difficult for http://brid.gy to search all Mastodon instances like it does for the single instance of Twitter… 😉
