mastodon is essentially 'twitter'. also called 'microblogging'. people post things that other people can see because they subscribe to 'people'
the hashtags are supposed to be used to aggregate posts between all those different people to help find common posts.
lemmy does none of it, as it is not capable of 'microblogging'
there are a few platforms that can do both the 'forum based' stuff (threadiverse) and the 'twitter based stuff' (microblog) like mbin
on my instance for example, you can follow people on mastodon and interact with all the lemmy content
