It could be because the admins are setting an amount of time to stop pulling old data. Or it could be the backfill issue. Mastodon had a similar backfill issue open as well, though that has been opened since 2016 and still hasn't been fixed.

The one you linked is an old one anyway, you should use [email protected] instead.

Not all instances are federated. If you go to the bottom of the page and click on "Instances", you can see what instances are blocked.

For example, feddit.de defederated sh.itjust.works.

If you scroll down to their instances page, you can see this instance blocked at the bottom.

I personally keep seeing it in All and it's annoying. I don't want to turn off NSFW because I want to see other non-porn NSFW content

You can check these:

You can also type a name of what you're looking for in the search bar of your instance or app, and it should search for federated communities.

So if you use Discord right you could more or less recreate Subreddits inside a single Discord server.

I am part of some Discord servers that utilizes this. Downside is that it doesn't have comment threads which might be one of the things that made Reddit popular. Also, because Discord is more meant to use for chatting, people type a lot of non-productive stuff that you have to go through instead of filtering from top/best comments. Servers that have slow mode turned on (can only send a message every # of mins) to help still has this issue as well.
