@dshanske listened to you on WP Weekly Podcast. Really interested in trying some Indieweb tools. Can’t get Bridgy to connect to my site/Instagram. Any pointers to where to get support for Bridgy? Just keep getting errors when trying to connect.
What is the error you are seeing? Happy to try helping.

My day job is in training for an airline. I also develop Indieweb WordPress plugins so that others can take control of their online identity.
If I just put in the site url: wabu.life into Bridgy Instagram page I get:
HTTP Error 400: 400 Bad Request The server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect. IndieAuth verification failed: 500 WordPress › Error html
… followed by a bunch of CSS. Then:
“The site is experiencing technical difficulties.”
This comes after the authentication page where I click “Authenticate” to make the connection between my site & Bridgy.
…if I go to the Bridgy plugin settings & click the button to “Register for Instagram”, it takes me to the brid.gy Instagram page with this message at the top:
“Couldn’t fetch your web site: Missing required parameter: user_url”
