The problem with hash tag-following is that it some on the messages that enter the instance in some way (either local or from the federation). This works great on big Instances and on specialised instances.
However, on smaller less-special instances (like personal instances or -say-an instance for a mid-sized city with 50 members) … it works much less.
But that is then where grup.pe
and following public instances of remote instances comes in.
Hi,
Correct. For you info. I co-manage a activity-pub relay for fediverse instances oriented towards hamradio.
If you are interested in peering, feel free to send me a ping)
Some instances have built in auto translation these days, works quite well in my experience.
But if language filtering works everywhere except when following hashtags that sounds like a bug and you should probably see if there is an issue for it on the Mastodon bugtracker, and if not make one.
I really must go back to Mastadon. I joined a while back, but it was just so goddam quiet that I stopped checking my feed.
Subscribe to hashtags that interest you, them based on the posts that come up through that follow users that seem to have related interests.

Kr.
Smaller instances can subscribe to federation relays to ingest more messages. Works quite well, but does come at a higher server resource use.

Just follow these 2 accounts, they both boost/retweet tons of interesting posts, and then you can follow the original posters:
Ah, nice, thanks!
We aren’t able to sub to Mastodon accounts on Lemmy yet are we?
No
