It should give an easy overview of the architecture of the Fediverse and what it differentiates from old social media.

like I said, hashtags are fun, but the fact that even if you follow the hashtag it only shows posts that were already federated into your instance confuses people
communities/groups will federate the posts for you if you follow, but following a hashtag does not give any federation
Even if you could follow hashtags on Lemmy, you would also need to be able to follow users for anything to show up (so that’s 2 big new features required). And since it requires following users, that would also mean a culture shift would be required, you’d need to convince your instance-mates to use their Lemmy accounts to follow people, but people are mostly here to follow communities not people.
I’m not against the features being added, I just don’t think they’re going to be as impactful to the Lemmy platform as expected.
