why does every instance need to host all content if i can just follow a community on a different instance for that sort of content?
While I don't think every instance needs to host everything, I think the most popular instances being a bunch that don't host NSFW and one that only hosts NSFW is an issue. I don't blame instance admins, as NSFW content introduces additional difficulties, but it still doesn't necessarily look the best.
I know the going advice is "choose a medium popularity instance" which I did, but it took me a while to find one that allowed NSFW but wasn't NSFW-only.
I think this is for the most part true. The user should get to decide what to subscribe to and what to block. I think that having instances that are safe for work while others that will host everything else would be beneficial. It would almost be like having 2 accounts but not having to bother logging out and logging back in. That way if you are in a setting that let's say porn popping up on your screen would be an issue then you just switch instances to the safe one.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
