Mastodon mindlessly copies big "horizontal" social network services, but they rely on algorithms a lot. Without algorithms, I think that platforms with categories and communities are better. That's why before the major social networks, forums were quite popular for discussions.
This is why I like Bluesky more.

You can follow hashtags in Mastodon tbf
