@JoelOtter feature request for you: link backfeed! https://search.bsky.social/search/posts?q=https://snarfed.org returns JSON posts that include to my site. Haven't found which lexicon they match, maybe not any, but they're easy to post. It'd be awesome to handle these as mention links, like we currently do for Reddit! (And used to for Twitter, Facebook, etc)

Oh nice, I kind of forgot this was a feature because we don't have it on Mastodon. Will give it a go!

Fwiw, search.bsky.social's days are numbered, they're eventually planning to switch to official search endpoints served by the AppView:

Search updates: The search.bsky.social service, which was never a formal part of the Bluesky API (Lexicons) will be deprecated soon, with both actor (profile) and post search possible through app.bsky.* Lexicons, served by the AppView (and proxied by the PDS).

Looks like the lexicon/methods for searching posts is probably https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/main/lexicons/app/bsky/feed/searchPosts.json , not sure if the AppView is serving that yet, but we could try.

Worth putting this one on hold til things stabilise on the silo do you think?

Probably yeah, I'd vote for stability and bug fixes first.

Looks like the AppView's search endpoint is working now! eg https://api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.searchPosts?q=foo
