Does something like this exist? As far as I can tell, setting something similar up would require:

  • A dedicated Lemmy instance for Mastodon tag-based crossposting (probably, since most existing instances probably don't want to clutter their instance with thousands of script-generated communities)
  • Some kind of form on a site where users who want to follow a Mastodon tag that is not already set up as a Lemmy community could submit the tag they want added, which would automatically set up:
  • A Lemmy community for that tag on the aforementioned instance, and
  • A Mastodon hashtag bot that automatically crossposts all posts with that tag to the linked community

I was being a bit unclear here, what I meant was that replies mentioning a hashtag shouldn't show up as posts in its pseudo-community; only posts. Replies to a post with a hashtag would show up regardless of content.
