[Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] [asuh] I got Brid.gy to authenticate Mastodon! I looked through my Mastodon account settings and found the option: Account > Authorized Apps. I revoked the Brid.gy authorization. I then went back to Brid.gy and authorized Brid.gy again and IT WORKED! Now back to testing my WordPress setup!!
# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] [asuh] Almost worked, darn. The Mastodon account shows on my Brid.gy profile. But when I click the “Click to Enable Publishing” button I am back to the same error.
# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] 2 questions: 1 - Has any Mastodon instance added the support you mention on GitHub, in other words does it work on any instance?
# [snarfed]2 [Michelle_Moore] what support is that?
# [Michelle_Moore] 2 - If one were to add the Brid.gy Fed to their WordPress site, what would get published? ALL posts? Is there a way to be selective about what is published?

# [snarfed]2 Re 2, it's on demand, not everything. https://fed.brid.gy/docs#use
# [snarfed]2 Re 1, I don't know beyond what people have posted in those issues
# [Michelle_Moore] Thank you [snarfed] - #2 seems a little scary. Do you use that?
# [snarfed]2 yup!
# [snarfed]2 other examples on https://indieweb.org/Bridgy_Fed
# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] Thank you! I will look at the examples and documentation.

# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] Is it feasible that a person could have the backfeeds functioning properly for Mastodon and then manually post items to Mastodon? Is the requirement that the posts need to have the proper microformat markup for it to work correctly?

# [snarfed]2 Yes! If your Mastodon post links to the post on your site, Bridgy backfeed doesn't depend on microformats on your site
# [snarfed]2 Otherwise, https://brid.gy/about#link

# [Michelle_Moore] Thank you [snarfed]! I think I am actually to a point where I can write down what I have done so far. I read the bridge_fed info and was also wondering what happens to your Twitter syndication? I am a little confused about end points. I get it but not really. lol

# [snarfed]2 Hmm! I don't quite follow the question

# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] If you use brid.gy_fed how would what happens to the Twitter backfeed and publishing. Does it stay the same and “separate” from the _fed side?

# [snarfed]2 Bridgy Fed only does fediverse, it doesn't touch Twitter
# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] Got it! Thank you again! I have a lot to experiment with now.
