How would you feel about Lemmy being able to pull in hashtags from the Fediverse? (lazysoci.al)

The words in the middle are the key difference, though:

Communities are groups

Communities involve (i.e. are not) topics

The social structure of Lemmy is fundamentally centred on groups, and that's what makes it distinct from other fediverse platforms, even if there is some interoperability
