Doesn’t that mean you’d need all Mastodon’s messages of the day on your device?

You wouldn't need that. Think in terms of XMPP: a server could create the equivalent of a MUC room for tags, and the client could "follow" a tag by joining the room. The server would then push all messages it receives to that room. This scales quite well and still puts the client in control of the logic.

Similar architecture could be used for groups.
