Does Mastodon even have a filter so I can view all tweets from every instance like Lemmy does for posts? Because, if it does, I haven't found it.

I mean, yeah, that is the whole point.

You need to search for key words or alternative just press a hashtag you see on a post, hashtags is how all instances communicate since there isn't a proper text only searcher across instances.

Hashtags are extremely important if you want people from outside your own instance to find your posts and they are heavily used by everyone for that reason.

Of course you can manually search for users, or go to other instances and follow people from those, that way yohr own timeline will be filled with people outside your own instance.

Your client should have All and Local feeds, All being for everything your instance is federated with

I'll have to give Mastodon another shot. Maybe that's what I was messing up.

That said, I was always a bigger reddit user than tweeter

Where can I find that? I'm using the Mastodon app available on Google Play.
