Some Lemmy compatible platforms do stuff like that
allow you to see both Lemmy style content and Microblog style content in the same platform
allow you to follow individual users.
include hashtags that federate out so the Lemmy posts appear under that hashtag for microblog users
Something like that could work, as long as it’s an additional option and not a change to how communities currently work.
Mixing hashtags with communities sounds like a bad idea because of how much content would come in at once. For example, there are a few RSS feed communities and already those ones are overwhelming to keep up with. Most posts sit with no comments and 1 vote, which doesn’t work for the vote & comment based way we organize content here.
We can improve how we federate these platforms together, but I prefer the tagging method. That way it’s a conscious decision to post a microblog post in a community.

Sorry to get back so late to this. I covered everything elsewhere though.
