Elon Musk deprecated #hashtags, and made them count less in the exTwitter algorithm, but they remain useful here, and perhaps that is why you see things that had gone.

Another thing that makes exTwitter less useful is that they deprecated some of the things that made it useful in the first place. As a microblog, one of its major uses was to draw attention to web sites that you had visited and found interesting. But they pushed posts with links down in the rankings. I don't think Mastodon does that.
