You're able to see tagged posts from people on other instances when browsing hashtags. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean
You can see tagged posts only if they are known to your instance aka somebody is following account, which used mentioned tag, but search is not able to really search all posts with hashtag in whole fediverse. So if there is some niche instance about some topic, you will never find posts from there, if it was not federated by somebody following accounts from this server.
Ohhhhhhhh. That...really sucks actually. That might be why I'm struggling to find anything on certain topics I'm interested.
This seems like a huge issue but at the same time I understand that instances have limited resources so I don't really know how to solve it...
