If you are browsing by All then you see them all
I think , i haven't tried but I have seen it mentioned around. That we can block communities , so maybe that's something.
Since i'm using a private instance, i don't see other instances until i explicitly visit them, i believe.
Yes, users only see communities from other instances on all that another user from their own instance has subscribed too (or I suppose that they subscribed to but usually people aren't suprised about that)

needs to be at least easy to make sure default all is sane, once a user signs in and does what they will they can see or block what they please, with start being the same sfw default .

Absolutely block instances hosting illegal content - the way federation works means copies / caches of content can end up on this server? Or even if that’s not how lemmy does it, it risks using this server to facilitate the spread of something incredibly harmful & damaging.
As far as I’m concerned there’s no argument for allowing / normalising content produced which quite literally ruins peoples lives.
Edit: Even stuff that’s purely cartoonish in nature for me is just grim, and I don’t want to be a part of a community which supports it.
Edit2: If a server can block a specific community posting CSAM then maybe that's a better solution than blocking the underlying infrastructure. If that's not possible, I think defederation is the only real way to deal it, as frustrating as that would be for legitimate users.
That's not how it works. Instances don't cache images from other instances. If you hover your mouse over an image you can clearly see the site it's hosted on is in fact not originating from the instance you're browsing on. It works like Pleroma, Akkoma, Rebased, and other Pleroma forks.
IANAL, but I believe you can't be held liable for hosting links to other images on a site, regardless if they're embedded through the website's UI. They're not stored there, afterall. The client is rendering them.
All that gets cached, I believe, is the text and users from remote instances. And by cached, I mean stored in the postgres DB.
