Been mulling over this a bit and I do think channels are closest to hashtags but sadly get the short end of two sticks.
Hashtags: 100.0% free and permissionless to use (can be made in realtime, ahead of time as a larger campaign, etc.) to organize ephemeral public group chats
Communities (in some vein, subreddits): focused around a specific topic, [can] have hierarchy, often have static information and resources that not only bring people in via search engines but keep them around with self-managed wikis.
Channels have too much friction to be created out of thin air yet and (currently) lack the structure and content to be meaningful for communities to build around.
It'd be neat if clients displayed "trending" channels by recent activity relative to the average: i.e. /politics getting its uptick during big [US?] events, /game5 felt awesome in its time.
Also, I really enjoy the novel use of channels for quote casting to recontexualize casts, i.e. into /bad-takes, /dont-do-this, /someone-build 10 replies

The new political game is to use age as the defining way to pit people against each other.
But, like every one of these games it serves only one purpose, to distract us away from class consciousness.
Race, religion, sexuality, gender, age, political beliefs are not singularly defining qualities.
In fact the only meaningful group, coordinating to effect negative outcomes on the broader public is the capitalist class.
Therefore, if you want to direct your anger somewhere, that’s where you should point it. 4 replies
