Nothing it's just imitating twitter the hashtag symbol means something is trending.

I personally think it's kinda dumb

If someone does a stays like
Can't wait to go to the pool with my girls
#summer
It means that they are like tagging summer basically

Your supposed to use it on twitter but some dumbasses decided to bring it to facebook. The hashtag (#) just symbolises something that you can like pass on I guess. Like if someone died, you can put after ur status #RIP(blablabla) and ppl will catch on.

Dosn't mean anything on Facebook, you mean Twitter. On twitter the # (hashtag) is used when stating a trend. For example say that 'Chicken Soup' is trending and popular, you would say:
#chickensoup blah blah blah
