10 months ago @snarfed I'm having a similar issue w/ Bridgy + Mastodon + Webmention.io:
{
"status": "no_link_found",
"source": "https://brid.gy/comment/mastodon/@wood@hachyderm.io/111439777418267489/111439855894516928",
"target": "https://joshuawood.net/webmentions",
"summary": "The Microformats at the source URL do not contain a link to the target URL. Check the source URL in a Microformats parser such as php.microformats.io"
}It's strange because it accepted the reply that this was in response to, but it won't accept this one. I check the microformats on php.microformats.io as suggested, and it parsed the source URL just fine afaict:

10 months ago Ugh. Sorry for the trouble, @joshuap! Not entirely sure what's going on there, but I suspect the problem is we're finding that post at least two different ways, as a downstream reply and as an @-mention of you, and we're not merging the two versions. Eg we sent this webmention for the reply, but when webmention.io fetches the source page, we render it as the @-mention, so it doesn't have u-in-reply-to pointing to https://joshuawood.net/webmentions .
I thought we fixed this a long time ago, in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/533 and snarfed/bridgy@a10a5a1c37c6419717d940a6dee7401462975ac9, but maybe not, or maybe not all variations. Will look. I suspect this one is tricky though, no promises.

Any help or guidance you can provide will be much appreciated, thanks for looking!

5 months ago I think I'm having the same issue here too (Bridgy + Mastodon + Webmention.io):
{
"status": "no_link_found",
"source": "https://brid.gy/comment/mastodon/@steffoz@mastodon.social/112167993661516620/112167993661516620",
"target": "https://squeaki.sh/p/being-part-of-the-indieweb",
"summary": "The Microformats at the source URL do not contain a link to the target URL. Check the source URL in a Microformats parser such as php.microformats.io"
}The post in question is a reply to a reply: https://mastodon.social/@steffoz/112167993661516620
But with this other reply to reply, everything worked just fine: https://mastodon.social/@steffoz/112167872530600615

5 months ago Huh, interesting. Looking at the source URL for that webmention, it has:
<a class="u-in-reply-to" href="https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/112167934611297209"></a>...which is some kind of interstitial redirect prompt thing that mastodon.social is doing. The actual in-reply-to should be https://social.lol/@amerpie/112167934583687660 , which Bridgy would connect with your original post https://squeaki.sh/p/being-part-of-the-indieweb . I wonder if mastodon.social is replacing the social.lol URL with its prompt URL, even in data returned via the API? Hrm.

commented
5 months ago Mh, ok, so it's something related to replies to-reply towards users residing in third-party servers? If you give me some hints I can try to give you an answer to that last question :) What should be the API call to try on mastodon.social?
snarfed
commented
5 months ago Sure! It's /api/v1/statuses/[id]/context. Here's how we use it:
You may not be able to identify the root cause here from looking at Mastodon API responses alone - I expect there's at least some interaction with granary's/Bridgy's logic - but feel free to try!
stefanoverna
commented
5 months ago Alright! So the response you'd like to see is of this one, right?
curl 'https://mastodon.social/api/v1/statuses/112167934611297209/context' | jq '.'
This is the result, hope it helps, and let me know if I can make your investigative work easier :)

webmention.io is oddly rejecting some Bridgy Fed webmentions with
no_link_found, even though the source page does link to the target URL. Originally filed in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/440 by @jamietanna. One example:@aaronpk my only guess is the redirect, but that should be pretty common, I'm sure wm.io supports source URL redirects, right?
