@edheil Which of the various methods (manually, plugin(s), other) are you using? On fragility front, I'm not too worried as it is open source and has folks helping. It's also only a bridge as I can reply directly to your site.

It creates a 1 to 1 correspondence between the post on your site & your post on Twitter to make it easier for Bridgy to match and sending responses. It also makes it easier to delete copies in the future because you'll know where else on the web… stream.boffosocko.com/2022/edheil-it…

OK, that's cool.
Should I be manually posting links to my blog onto twitter and such or does bridgy somehow do that automatically?

I also see that a blog post on your site boffosocko appeared as a comment on my site

OK, I just added syndication links. What will that do for me?

and... it kind of looks like I have two different brid.gy accounts, one linking my twitter to my blog, the other linking my mastodon to my blog? Is that how it works/should work?

Easiest to think of it as you have one "account" for each website. Then each site has different sections for each social silo you connect it to.

The whole idea behind IndieWeb is that you can use your website to own all your content on a domain you own/control. You've got a site with webmentions set up, so we could be having this whole conversation from site to site. Instead, I'm choosing to [more]

Writing new blog posts just to comment on somebody else's blog or reply to a tweet seems kind of like.... a lot. Unless your blog is understood to be full of tiny posts which exist in an external context. Which is a way things could be, I guess.

So you have your own personal self hosted Twitter-like feed, where you do all your short form interaction?

Bridgy matches posts on your site to Twitter using one of a few methods so that it can backfeed the proper replies to the appropriate posts. Providing it with syndication links is usually easiest, and on WordPress try: indieweb.org/u-syndication#…… stream.boffosocko.com/2022/edheil-br…
