Bridgy (brid.gy) connects your web site to social media as part of the IndieWeb (indieweb.org). This extension provides backfeed for Facebook and Instagram: it pulls back comments and likes from those sites to your own web site. See the Bridgy docs for more background and details.
Your web site needs to support IndieAuth (indieauth.net). When you install the extension, it opens a Bridgy page for you to IndieAuth into your site. After that, it runs in the background, forwarding Facebook and Instagram responses to Bridgy to send back to your site. You can see status info and poke it on the extension settings page.
Bridgy originally used Instagram’s and Facebook’s APIs to do this, but they later restricted those APIs. Fortunately you can still log into and use them legitimately in your browser, so this extension lets you send your own data to Bridgy, automatically.
