Yeah i do agree but sadjy, shere is a reason some of us call it lemmyverse.
Since Lemmy doesn't really support hashtag, the core of mastodon discoverability, I think switching to a new software is better.
PieFed plan to support Mastodon this year. They already do it somewhat : you can follow PieFed user and a.gup.pe work well. You can also follow comment or post by setting up an alert.
Currently, only mbin can do that.

hashtags don’t work well on the Fediverse, a hashtag doesn’t have an owning instance which means there’s no way to push/pull the content by hashtag

On masto that helped me finding new people or thematic discussion. It may not work very well but it does works with boost. From what i was able to achieve with it, it's an amazing tool 😊

yea I mean it’s fun to use and works well if you’re on a large instance like mastodon.social, I use it even on a medium size instance
but communities/groups work better on the fediverse, and maybe something in between the 2 could be created, some kind of federated version of hashtags

I'm not on mastodon social, i use it on
- peculiar.florist an iceshrimp instance and their dev team want to support PieFed, Lemmy and Mbin
- mastodon.tedomum.net and mastodon.zaclys.com they both belong to a collective of hosters.
And hashtag work well. I have a list where i follow hashtag ar if i had a community around this keyword.
If mastodon supported group, they would include lemmy, mbin, piefed support. We can remplace a.gup.pe
