[Feature Request] Bluesky/Atmosphere Search

[HenrickTheBull]

Bluesky's firehose is fully public and can be searched directly through multiple relays setup by both Bluesky and the Atmosphere community.

There's a open source library for consuming and searching the firehose that's not very compute intensive as well.

Bluesky is going to become more important as Brazil (due to the Twitter block), the US, and England move more and more to Bluesky now that it's open to join by anyone without an invite code.

Hey there! Thanks for the suggestion. As part of a related project (FuzzySearch OwO), I have been collecting image hashes in the same format as this project since Sept 2023. The difficulty is surfacing these results in a useful way.

To give some context, the entirety of FurAffinity, Weasyl, and e621 totals around 54 million submissions. Since last year, 76 million images have been posted to Bluesky, and it's only gaining popularity. It's also an incredibly "noisy" dataset, in that most of the images there aren't furry or furry adjacent, and it would result in a much greater chance of hash collision for search, and make tools like FoxBot less useful because automatic matching would find a lot of memes.

I think I'd like to allow searching it, but there are definitely UX considerations that need to be evaluated first.
