Their target audience is Mastodon users though, not Lemmy. And Mastodon requires hashtags for discovery. OP is just writing their post in a way that it can be found by Mastodon users.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that Mbin supports custom magazine/community CSS like Old Reddit did. Don’t think it’s federated currently though, so it’s local only. There’s also the ability to follow users and boost (retweet) content, which Lemmy lacks.
Judging by recent posts by Piefed’s creator, they seem to be planning to add end-to-end encryption and ephemeral content.
