Good initiative but to get larger population to the fedi instead of just us nerds, this implementation has several usability flaws.

Firstly, users would need to understand how the system technically works to be able to find posts and get visibility. This is a far fetch.

...secondly, users will need to learn and remember to use not just hashtags but also group names. This will not happen. Only those understanding the inner works of fedi, and whom spefically want a certain distribution can use it.

This is a good use case but at the same time a fail for the need to discover like minded ones whom often are not engineers in it or tech. They just post stuff, sometimes with hashtags, sometimes forgetting....

E.g. I am intersted in steamboats in active use, and would like to have a way to find other steamheads, many of whom have no idea of fedi insides or even what a hashtag is.

Or another interest in EU CRA related topics. Thus higher changes writer knows how to use fedi.

On fedi or mastodon, are there ways to e.g. create feeds similar to Bsky?

I'm not sure exactly how the Bluesky feed operates, but it sounds somewhat similar to Fedigroups? You can apply to create one by filling the form on the front page at https://about.fedigroups.social

If you do create a group, let me know about it and I'll give it a shoutout over on @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services
