I'm no expert on identi.ca, but I thought you could subscribe to a group and get all the dents posted to that group in your feed automatically, without needing to look for them. While you need to search/monitor a hashtag to see it. Please correct me if I am wrong :)
I'm subscribed to the Ubuntu group (and the Ubuntu-AU one - but no one has posted in 4 months on it) and I see dents by anyone on the group, not just my direct friends.
