If you want to do this, Mbin can be a temporary solution, they support both format already

Just checked on fedia.io . It's not what I meant.

From your post...

I wish to interact with microbloggers as a piefed user. Piefed could render microblog posts that contain a hashtag as a community post within a “community” named by this particular hashtag

That is literally how mbin does it!

@suff@piefed.social , have you tried looking at a specific community?

https://fedia.io/m/photography has the two views: microblogs and threads

[suff@piefed.social]

Do I miss something?

• Communities are called "Magazines" on mbin. Magazines contain posts from the threadiverse (lemmy, etc.), not microblogger posts.
• "Microblog" in the header menu links to a TL of microblog posts, not posts from the threadiverse.
• From the comment section below threadiverse posts, you can upvote, reply and boost (a threadiverse comment to your microblogging TL), that's okay but why distinguish them in the first place?
• You can passively view (and rank) the microblog TL filtered by tag. That feels redundant.

I want hashtags treated like communities.

It's not two views on the same content. They keep microblogs and threads separated.

I want hashtags treated like communities.

I see you mentioned on another comment that "boost" would be "approved", but that then implies that mods of the communities have to approve every single post using that hashtag?

[suff@piefed.social]

It would be an acceptable variant or configuration for very busy/misused hashtags. I think if many users can join the mod team, it would work well.

[blaze@lemmy.zip]

If you look at https://fedia.io/m/photography/microblog , there are several posts per hour. That's not going to be doable to have mods approve all of those posts.

I think blaze was a bit confused at what you were saying but I got it as its kinda how I would like it as well. Basically mastadon in your feed. Like you could have a setting to do it at the user level. Honestly I would sorta like the logins in the fediverse to be able to be used in other fediverse instances. That would make a lot of things easier. Like I have 3 hubert manne accounts. one kbin, one on an mbin instance, and this piefed one. If I want to look at mastadon or loops I have to make a new account. Would love to click on links and have it just accept hubertmanne@piefed.social as a user. This would also make it where it is no longer necessary to fix links so they come up in an instance and decrease how much caching a particular instance needs to do.

Mods should be able to switch from opt-out (manually remove Mastodon posts from the hashtag-community) to opt-in (manually "boost" Mastodon posts into the hashtag-community). That switch could also flip like a fuse when a threshold is reached, with an admin-configured max_toots_per_day.

The flooded mod tool could help itself with filters by min_boosts, min_stars, links, media and max_age, etc.
