Refresh profiles when they follow bot users to opt in

[snarfed]

Right now, when someone follows a bot user to opt in, if we already have a cached copy of their profile, we don't refresh it. We should, since they may have changed a setting like Bluesky's "hide from logged out views," which we interpret as opt out. Should be an easy fix.

Thanks for the quick reply!

[snarfed]

OK @ygalanter this fix should be deployed in ~5m or so, after that feel free to try unfollowing and re-following and see if it works.

Hm... Still doesn't seem to work. I am able to find Mastodon account on Bluesky, but it shows no posts, even new ones made after bridging. And I can't find Bluesky account on Mastodon. Instance is https://hachyderm.io it doesn't seem to be blocking bridge servers.

Ugh, ok, thanks. Reopening.

In this case would refreshing the account also mean updating things like display name and bio?

[snarfed]

Yup! Those kinds of profile changes should get bridged automatically, but you can also do a manual refresh with the 🔁 button on your user page.

I'm not sure what you mean by user page. I went and took a look through the docs again and see some mentions of this, but most of the links don't seem to go anywhere. The one link that did took me to a form asking for my webpage, but it seems like that's intended for the web.brid.gy stuff.

I have tried unfollowing and refollowing bsky.brid.gy but that didn't seem to update the user profile on the Bluesky side to match.

Edit: Sorry, found the user page. Found the details about that here: https://starrwulfe.xyz/2024/05/fediverse-bluesky-bridge-in-beta/. The refresh from there seems to do the trick.

You're right that user pages aren't discoverable or documented well yet. Sorry! I've filed #1043 for that.

[snarfed]

Fixed the remaining bug here, and tested and confirmed. @ygalanter feel free to try again!

It works! Thanks 🙂
