<li>Bridgy Fed generally only bridges posts going forward; it doesn't backfill older posts from before you enabled it. If you want to see it bridge your posts, try a new one!
<li>Bridgy Fed <a href="#visibility">only bridges fully public posts and replies</a>, not unlisted, followers-only, mentioned-only, or otherwise non-public ones.
<li>The Bridgy Fed bot account will follow you back. If your account is set to accept follows, did you accept it? If not, and if you're on the fediverse, your instance won't send Bridgy Fed your posts, so they won't get bridged.
<li>Have you blocked the Bridgy Fed bot account? If so, that <a href="#opt-out">disables the bridge for your account</a>. <em>If you're on the fediverse</em>, try unblocking it, then follow it again. <a href="#opt-out">If you're on Bluesky, sadly this can't be undone right now. We hope it will be possible eventually!</a>
<li>If you're looking at your bridged account in the fediverse, Bridgy Fed only delivers your posts to fediverse instances where you have at least one follower. (This is how the fediverse works in general.)
<li>If you're on Bluesky, do you have the <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/safety.bsky.app/post/3khhw7s3rtx2s">"hide account in logged out view"</a> setting enabled? Bridgy Fed interprets that as opting out and won't bridge your account while it's on.</li>
