Remember that lemmy.world has to keep a copy of whatever content appears in a federated community on their servers, making them legally liable for the content. At least they just blocked the community instead of defederating.

I’m just going to say… “All” isn’t your feed. It is everything people on your instance have subscribed to. So, what you are saying is that the other people on the instance are subscribed to too much NSFW content. I’m not sure that individuals should get to police that.

“Subscribed” is your feed. Include or exclude whatever content you wish. You can blur NSFW if you want to browse all without seeing anything you don’t like.

The best thing you can do to help is to comment on threads. I know it feels weird to comment in an empty post, but it does tend to spur lurkers to respond.

If you go to Posts/All, you will see all the local communities plus all the communities subscribed to by the instance. I don’t foresee every instance mirroring the content of every community from every other instance - storage and bandwidth would go through the roof.

Communities that haven’t been subscribed to yet on an instance take a few minutes to show up after you search for them. This is something the need to fix: the delay is fine, but the need to provide useful user feedback, “connecting to community, check back in a few minutes”

Try this: https://browse.feddit.de/

I’ll agree that fetching a new community is much more awkward than it should be.
