I think the NSFW tag has to be more sharp, like only literal porn or gore is tagged NSFW. One of the most frustrating thing on r*ddit was that regular memes or text posts would get tagged as NSFW just for containing a swear word or something, so turning NSFW completely off would hide a ton of regular stuff too.
The problem with subscribing to communities at this point is the lack of content. I subscribed to a few different baseball communities, but none of them have anything other than maybe a welcome post or a few gameday posts without any comments. Communities are duplicated on a bunch of different instances too, which makes things a million times harder than it needs to be. I have no idea if one of the half dozen baseball communities I’m in now will make it big, if a new one entirely will make it big, or if they’re all doomed to never have content.
I’m trying to post at least once everyday on my local community to help build the interest. Someone has to make the content haha. Try to do the same. It doesn’t really matter which one you pick, just keep posting to it. You can subscribe to them all and comment on them all.
You know that is entirely fair haha. I was thinking the same thing when I first started but I realized you can block instances as they come up and you won’t see them anymore, now that I’ve done it awhile they rarely comeup.
Slight correction (not to be pedantic, we’re all learning here): you can currently block communities, but not instances. (Apparently being able to block instances at the user-level is coming)
I don’t like new due to the amount of hentai i see in there lol
Turn off your NSFW setting in your user profile.
Or just subscribe to communities you do want to see, then use the subscribed tab.
I’ve opened a GitHub issue asking for a way to hide NSFW communities in All (without having to turn off NSFW entirely)

Eh, Reddit had similar problems in the earliest days. One will win out. Not ideal, but it will get better.
Be the one to post! Invite people to discuss, and crosspost to other relevant communities so more people know the comm exists!
People won’t post if no one’s posting. It’s a vicious cycle.

Ah yes that’s right, I have to stop using instance and community interchangeably lol
