In addition to nobody really wanting to set one up for (non furry) smut, some instances don’t allow you to subscribe to NSFW communities on any instance. I think lemmy.ml is one that doesn’t allow it, but I’m not sure how you would check.
Agreed, but I think the best way of doing that is to have an instance setting where NSFW subs/posts don’t appear in the “All” list or similar. So people can (if they so choose) subscribe to these sorts of things from other instances, but it doesn’t appear in public feeds.
I think one thing Lemmy is lacking is “Limited” federation a la Mastodon, where you can designate some servers (or communities?) as “limited”, meaning that their messages don’t apear in public feeds.
Of course, at the end of the day, instance admin makes the rules and if they don’t like anything (NSFW or otherwise) they can just ban federating with it.

It’s a wise decision by instance admins to have a clean separation between regular and NSFW content IMO.
I think it’s likely that there will be a parallel NSFW fediverse that has little overlap with regular content, and that’s probably for the best.
I really like the idea of completely separate instances. One for business, one for pleasure; keep it all separated.
What if business and pleasure overlap 🤔
Yeah, and almost everyone uses an alt for exactly that separation anyways, so it’d be making an alt on specific instances
Right yeah, the only people that lose out would be the ones who like to have porn mixed in with their regular posts (crazy mfs!)
