Wouldn't Mastodon just be that? Lemmy and Mastodon federate - and you can see one in the other.
Twitter-likes are tag based. Reddit-likes are community based? I think it's fine and good if communities merge or get subsumed by an equivalent on another instance.
Yes and no, ideally we would also still have communities. You can imagine how a topic like Henry Kissinger's death could be talked about in both of a politics sub, and noncredibledefence esque military based sub.
The point is basically to give better search functionality and bridge these communities by topic in a way.
For now, search does work pretty well instead of tags, you can just search for the keyword
Right now, you can't see Mastodon toots unless they go out of their way to link a Lemmy community. I hope we'll get better integration at some point (a way to subscribe to users or hashtags, maybe), because that would give a lot more activity
