I'm still attempting to understand the larger world of indieweb code for WP, but I'm relatively sure that the issue I'm seeing is potentially coming out of the WP Semantic-Linkbacks plugin.

The issue:
Likes from Facebook as well as likes and RT's from Facebook are feeding into the the WP comments dashboard from brid.gy properly, but once being approved, aren't actually showing up in the comments section of the related WP post.
I've done a quick test with a comment with text on the same Facebook post and don't seem to be seeing the same issue and it seems to show up fine in the comments on the post once approved.

Example:
WP post: <a href="http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com/2015/08/20/todays-books-august-20-2015/">http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com/2015/08/20/todays-books-august-20-2015/</a>;

As this is a relatively new site, perhaps there's some small thing that I'm missing or forgetting? I set it all up with the WP IndieWeb plugin (v2.2.0) and everything within it is current and installed/configured (except Hum and Micropub).

Its possible that it's something similar to a related issue I'd had before on a different WP install (see: https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-webmention-for-comments/issues/1) though that seemed to be fixed (by itself?) shortly thereafter.

Within the WP admin interface, (http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=editcomment&c=25)
in the editable comment section, I'm seeing something similar to the following:

<code><a href="http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com/2015/08/20/todays-books-august-20-2015" rel="nofollow"></a>
<a href="http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com/2015/08/20/todays-books-august-20-2015/" rel="nofollow"></a></code>

So there is data there, it's just not being parsed/rendered properly somewhere.

Since I've got another WP set up that seems to be operating properly with the same general set up, has anyone got any ideas?

The reply to site won't be visible to most as it was a private message, but someone asked about how to get started on building their own Little Free Library branch. My reply:

I wrote a little bit about my building process here: http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com/our-story-history-and-building-process/

You can find most of the details for set up and registry on http://www.littlefreelibrary.org. (They actually just updated their website over the weekend.) They have libraries that you can buy and they'll ship to you, though part of the movement is encouraging people to be creative in building and designing their own. I'm happy to help give you some ideas if you need the help, but their website and examples they have on their Facebook & Pinterest sites will surely help too. Visiting a few in the Glendale & Pasadena Areas might help as well - you can find a map at http://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/. I notice that several of the Glendale City LFL's aren't on the map, but can be found by googling "Glendale" and "Little Free Library" where you'll find the city's Library, Art and Culture page with addresses for all of them. There are several at nearby city parks as well as at city hall.

There's also a nice little book about building and hosting your own as well. You can find it on Amazon at http://amzn.to/1gtCPKP

The BookCrossing.com and GoodReads.com portion I've integrated into mine are unrelated websites that are used for releasing and tracking books out in the wild, but that both work with the LFL concept really well.

I've done a lot of research on the upfront side, so I do know quite a lot about the overall concepts, but obviously have only just opened my own. I'm happy to provide as much or as little help as you might need, just let me know.

Best,
Chris
