I mean, yeah, that is the whole point.

You need to search for key words or alternative just press a hashtag you see on a post, hashtags is how all instances communicate since there isn't a proper text only searcher across instances.

Hashtags are extremely important if you want people from outside your own instance to find your posts and they are heavily used by everyone for that reason.

Of course you can manually search for users, or go to other instances and follow people from those, that way yohr own timeline will be filled with people outside your own instance.
