Hi @aish25 , thanks for your question and welcome to Flower Discuss!
To answer your question directly: yes! you can load pretty much any dataset you want, even your own dataset. Because Flower Datasets leverages how huggingface datasets work, most of the utilities it provides (i.e. partitioners, etc) expect that your dataset is of type dataset. This directly gives you access to pretty much all datasets available in Hugging Face – The AI community building the future. (which as of today account for over 300K!)
If you have a dataset that’s not in HF, it recommended that you first convert it to a dataset object. You can follow this guide in the Flower Datasets documentation: Use with Local Data - Flower Datasets 0.5.0
Let us know if this helped!
