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.

Thanks,
