If you would be so kind to entertain some questions to clarify my understanding.

I am not someone who uses social media for professional purposes, but I am looking for more information about certain topics. If I am on a small server, I and search for those topics, I might not see all of hashtags or be able to connect to the community that shares that interest. Is that correct?

Now the opposite scenario. Let's say I am account that is only here for professional purposes. I start my own server so as to better control my account and content. I post using hashtags. Does the fact I am in a very small server impact people's ability to find my posts in a hashtag search?

One more question. I'm a professional on my own server. Does my hashtag visibility in searches increase as my followers increase?

Thank you in advance. I am very interested in more journalists joining Mastodon, and I am watching whether news organizations and journalists will start their own instances.
