Bridgy (brid.gy) connects your web site to social media, as part of the IndieWeb (indieweb.org). This extension provides backfeed for Instagram, ie pulls back comments and likes on your Instagram posts to your 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 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 users can still log into and use Instagram legitimately in their browser, so this extension lets them send their own data to Bridgy, automatically.
