Instance is a website running Lemmy. Most of such websites connected with each other in such way so users can chat and see posts without reregistering on each separate instance. That’s how I (registered on beehaw.org) can see your posts and chat with you.
I don’t even think it would be too bad to mix it on a server since users have the possibilities to block whole communities (in contrast to servers which can only be done by admins for all users). Though I find your concern regarding moderation relatable. Maybe a feature for the admin panel would be nice where you can specify comminities/servers that are not shown in the All timeline or where all posts are marked as NSFW by default (if there is not such a feature yet)
Afaik only text is replicated and images are only hosted at the server (more specifically the pictrs instance) where it was uploaded. However, I don’t know about the legal implications of linking to possibly illegal content.
To be honest Reddit shows more tits and big asses than Lemmy. Maybe people have some issue to leave that Paradise. 🤭
Is there porn on here too?
lemmy.ml has a no-porn rule, I don’t know about the other ones but I haven’t seen a porn community yet.
Damn, we need an NSFW instance.
How would you make one? What exactly is an instance? I think a dm or chat room and voice chat room sound good to

but the same reasoning works for a lot of other content (about pirating, privacy, hacking tools etc).
