If I understand correctly, all three are possible, but I don’t use it myself and only know these instructions in German. Here are the most important paragraphs (automatically) translated:

"Friendica allows you to make various settings. You therefore have the choice of whether and how you want to use the connection to Bluesky.

Even if the connection to Bluesky has been established and your contacts have been imported, this does not mean that all your Fediverse posts are automatically visible on Bluesky.

Friendica gives you the freedom to decide how deeply you want to integrate with Bluesky.

[ 1 ] ‘Publish to Bluesky by default’ - if this option is activated, every post will also be visible on Bluesky

[ 2 ] ‘Import the remote timeline’ - if this option is activated, all posts from the accounts you follow will be imported.

[ 3 ] ‘Complete the threads’ - if this option is activated, all comments on your posts and those of your contacts will be completed with additional comments.

Your connection to Bluesky is now established. Your timeline will now be filled with posts from the Fediverse and Bluesky.

You can now interact with your Bluesky contacts. For example, by entering a comment without opening the Bluesky app or browser window."

Since the text is from 2020, some information is no longer up to date: The connections to Twitter and Facebook are closed, instead there are now connectors to Tumblr and Bluesky

I’m not a big fan of Mastodon either (started with it, but now prefer Friendica and Lemmy), for me personally it’s not a good fit. But hashtags on Mastodon are at least a way to follow not just individual users but also topics (and this only works if they are hashtagged). With Friendica, Sharkey and others, you can define your own individual channels / antennas for certain topics, so hashtags and individual accounts are not so important. And for Lemmy, they’re not important at all. But as a Lemmy user, I can still put up with it when I see a hashtag (that gives others an advantage). What’s so bad about seeing it?

Every Fediverse content looks a little different, depending on which access software or app you use to view it. It seems that there are also Lemmy apps that display hashtags a little too exaggerated, while in others and in the web-gui it is ok. (in an earlier version of the guide it also said that you shouldn’t use hashtags/tags esp. in the headline because it didn’t work properly back then).

But maybe I should include a note in the instructions that hashtags should be used sparingly or placed at the end?

From here (webapp) it looks quite ok. You seem to be using an app that exaggerates hashtags a bit too much. (which app is it?)

It may be that not all instances are federating in both directions yet. You can send something from Gotosocial to one of the test communities (e.g. !test@feddit.org , but lemmy.world may also have one) if you want to test it further.

To be more precise: At the moment only in one direction (Lemmy > Friendica) all images are displayed. This is how it looks in Friendica: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-7067-83af-dbbc-0fd212873067

You might be able to speed it up a bit by copying the link of your GoToSocial post in Lemmy into the search box.

It has successfully reached Lemmy ! 🚀

If you want to host your own instance, there are also managed hosting offers for Friendica, e.g. by Weingärtner-IT (from 4€/month) or Spacehost (20€).

To get to know Friendica, however, I would recommend simply creating an account and testing it out, first.
