well, i am kinda stuck on how to do this because spidering can be quite expensive in terms of time and bandwidth, and it's difficult to make it functional without being a spam attack on relays and where such queries are originating... or making reasonable limits on who can even fire off these query-storms

to implement what you want, you have to also have an extensive list of relays to use, before you can actually even make the queries

i've built a spider into my #realy relay that tries to get the follow/mute/profile/delete/report events from all whitelisted users, but chasing down randos who happen to follow you is a lot more traffic, if you see what i mean
