The problem with hashtags is that the post itself won't be federated unless someone is following the user who made the post (or someone who boosted it). So Lemmy would be unable to see those posts anyways.

I have thought about a simple ActivityPub service that pulls a Mastodon RSS feed of a hashtag and boosts them all from a group/community actor, I think that would work for following from Lemmy.

Isn't that something that could easily be updated by PixelFed?

the way hashtags work? Mastodon has the same issue
