It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    There's also wsdata which appears to be similar, supports D7 and D9/D10 provides a design pattern for this type of solution.

    With that said, I'm going to now look at external_entities as I wasn't previously aware of this similar type solution. I have an immediate need for this.

    I used external entities recently. It's nice, but one difference from this project (and limitation, IMO) is that it's config rather than code based: see Define entity types programmatically Active .

    I've almost gotten external_entities implemented. With that said, for some reason the search_api tracking portion seems to stall out and never finish. Despite this, it still allows me to index content and set up fields . I'm about to put this to use. Been going hard on this, unfortunately I don't have any new patches but I did find a lot of gotchas and boobie traps that so far I've just tippy toe'd around.
