Yea. The basic idea feels like something that’s kinda been forgotten in the wake of big-social’s long dominance and vanilla-ification of online activity.
I even once asked the dev of a popular mastodon app who was expressing interesting in making a lemmy app too … “why not just add lemmy compatibility to the mastodon app”.
Their response was that they couldn’t see what that would look like or how it would work.
It’s all just text messages … I don’t think this is hard!

I don’t believe so. I’m pretty sure I’ve checked it, but I could be wrong.
It makes sense though as hashtags are a different mechanism from follows and boosts.
You could do a quick test with the test community and the test hashtag.
