If I were in control of Pleroma, I would prioritize this:


A web worker that queries posts from the fediverse with the same hashtag as local posts

Pleroma has a discovery issue. It should not be so impossible for me to find posts that contain #minipainting or #OtherNicheHashtag, regardless of what server they’re on. Hashtags are absolutely useless as is for smaller servers
#othernichehashtag #minipainting

Where would the web worker find these posts?

there’s an api endpoint for public timeline filtered by hashtag, if it were built into Pleroma I’m sure there would be a better interface. Maybe an admin panel that lets your instance follow specific hashtags and then periodically asks other known instances for any new posts with that hashtag.

What you're describing might already exist in the form of ActivityPub relays: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/relay
