@vivekanandanks well I for example follow #nix #nixos and #lix because these are the three which I am interested in and want to see posts. I'm quite sure most of us will have q similar "collection" of hashtags which they follow.
I think with #nix and #guix you will get 90% of the people you want to see your posts and don't have to add so many hashtags.
I think I would miss future posts if another hashtag is used.

@vivekanandanks one additional thing, their is for example a bot which boosts posts with #nixos even of accounts which are currently not "known" by the server my account is on, so I would miss these posts without that bot.
I don't know the correct term for that behavior but I have read something about it that not always all posts are coming through to someone if two servers never have "spoken" together. So a bot helps with that. But maybe this is deprecated knowledge.
