this is the kind of US-centric topic I don't want to see on main. a tragic story, yes, but not relevant to the instance, lemmy, or the fediverse as a whole, sorry.

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.
just... post more? or browse subscribed communities instead of local or all, just like on reddit: use those two views to find new communities, then switch to subscribed to see only the ones you want.
what even is a "boost function"? you mean upvotes? weirdly stupid comment.
Aye
