+To receive likes, reposts, and replies from federated social networks, just make sure your site accepts webmentions! Bridgy translates incoming Salmon slaps and ActivityPub activities to webmentions and sends them to your site.
+For replies, the source will usually be the permalink on the social network itself. For likes and reposts, the source will usually be a proxy page on fed.brid.gy
. For best results, make sure your webmention handler detects and handles u-url
