TL;DR I want Mastodon hashtags treated like communities.

Given the following homomorphism (morphism, analogy) between microblogs like Mastodon and the forumverse:

nr microblog forumverse
010 subscribe to hashtags subscribe to communities
020 include particular hashtags in their posts (cross-)post in particular communities
025 include particular hashtags in their posts include particular hashtags in their posts
030 list posts of a hashtag view a community
040 comment a post comment a post
050 star a post upvote a post
060 boost into TL approve "into" community

I wish to interact with microbloggers as a piefed user. Piefed could render microblog posts that contain a hashtag as a community post within a "community" named by this particular hashtag. Also, microblog accounts could be viewed like a regular user in piefed.

Pros: Lemmy posts and communities are visible and subscriptable in Mastodon already. Piefed should complete this connectivity.

Cons: Re-interpreting microblog posts as forum entries could lead to some misunderstandings which again lead to defederation. But I cannot think of any.

Edits: Added 060, 025, TL;DR
Edit: There appears to be a Mastodon integration being planned.

You can block accounts in communities, can't you? Also, there's a downvote button. Mastodon posts could start with 0 instead of 1. Unvoted posts could be deleted automatically after time.
