There are also cultures on the Fediverse associated with specific communities.

Cultures with their own norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics.

There are different mass cultures on the Fediverse.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Lemmy.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Pixelfed.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Misskey.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Friendica.

Just because 10 people on the Fediverse have certain norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics does NOT make these the culture of the Fediverse.

Not even if it were 100 people.

Not even if it were 1,000 people.

Consider what 1,000 people on the Fediverse represent — they are about 0.005% to 0.006% of the Fediverse!

No matter how loud this microscopic group of people scream, they still do not represent the (entire) Fediverse.

There is no such thing as FEDIVERSE CULTURE.

The Fediverse does not have a (single) culture.

The Fediverse is made of many many different cultures.

There are Fediverse cultureS (plural).

What if a (new type of) Fediverse server automagically created an ActivityPub actor for each hash-tag.

So, for example, if someone on the server used:

⋕banana

(Then if the domain of the server is "example.com") then we would automagically have the actor:

@banana@example·com

Probably a group actor.

And it boosted any local post with that hash-tag.

Then you could follow a hash-tag on a server.

ActivityPub outboxes are the new RSS / Atom / WebFeed.

You can just read from them to get a JSON feed of someone's posts.

I.e., you do NOT have to implement the full suite of Fediverse protocols, or Follow, or run your own server, or anything else to get someone's posts on the Fediverse — just read from their outbox.
