I checked lemmy.nsfw but many of them are just empty or inactive at the moment.
I know it’s gonna take time for Lemmy to grow but I don’t wanna go to Reddit for this.
Edit: my instance has defederated from the lemmynsfw instance… So I’ll just create an account there I guess.
My understanding is most NSFW posts are hidden by default unless you are logged in; if you are just visiting that instance directly and aren’t logged in with an account there and changed your settings to view NSFW content it’s gonna look pretty empty.
Are you sure you enable nsfw on your profile? If you browse all, I think every 4th post is nsfw
That may depend heavily on your home instance.
That said I’m on a programming instance and all is indeed like this.
Lemmyverse.net allows you to filter by only NSFW communities, let’s you sort by activity types, like subs, posts, comments etc. That’s how I find new subs sometimes NSFW and SFW
