Subscribe to the communities you like, then switch to “Subscribed” view, just like on Reddit. The front page is what it is, an honest /r/all – on Reddit it was mostly porn, and after some retooling mostly low-effort meme subs. But that’s exactly what “Subscribed” is there for!!

At least you’re not advocating to harshly monitor/ban/disallow community creation, like some others already did, basically treating the whole instance like an uber-strict subreddit of its own.

Instead, it’s easy: Subscribe. Then switch to Subscribed. If you want more communities, look at a list, or switch to All again.

also don’t block other instances too much! I mean as long as they are bot servers that threaten the health of the network, then you have to get rid of them of course. but way too many people are getting their panties in a bunch about content they don’t like, and immediately resort to the nuclear option of defederation, which is actually hurting the network and effectively splitting the user base. all these things should be blocked on a user level (by blocking specific communities, not whole instances!).

I’d disagree with the notion that this should be purely a NSFW instance; allowing such things, yes. But disallowing everything else? Also in regards to future more extensive federation with other instances once mod tools and UI (auto mark nsfw!) improve. I’d say connected communities are always healthier than segregated ones; filtered, yes, but permeable if you want them to. If we make this a walled garden of purely strictly NSFW content, it will also be a ghetto.

And regarding seeing content you’re not interested in, you already said it: With a growing user base this is bound to happen no matter what content rules you have, so use the Subscribed view, that’s what it’s there for. Disallowing certain content so you don’t have to use the Subscribed view is filtering content at completely the wrong point.

So, bring it on! SFW meme communities about NSFW topics, SFW-looking communities with links to NSFW content, text-based role playing communities, those for meta discussion or help or just chat. It can’t all be pics of boobies, that would sell the wonderful world of sex and what’s literally “not safe for work” immensely short.

PWA? haven’t heard of that one before, I swear there’s two new apps every day!

which, by your argument, is also fine. let them be the safe space, and whoever doesn’t want that, well just create an alt account literally anywhere else. it’s not worth fussing over imho.
