Basically the bridge listens for new posts on both services and copies them as needed. Think of it like a bot on Reddit or lemmy that automatically posts stuff on behalf of someone else.

Does that make sense?

That makes sense, thank you!

How do you install a bridge on Android? Using the bridge, could you theoretically link a WhatsApp account from a different phone?

You’d install it on the server, so it would need your WhatsApp credentials and whatnot, at least that’s how other bridges work.
