It seems like the Baraag and Pawoo (I think run by Pixiv) instances both host very... uh... vibrant pornographic, and sex positive art communities, and it is convenient for those users as Tumblr banned them all, Twitter patchily bans explicit content periodically (JP users get a much looser leash than EN it seems) and DeviantArt forbids anything more explicit than artistic nudes.
I don't use it, mainly because I'm unclear of what the implications of choosing an instance are. I have a wide range of interests and I worry I'll be siloed if I choose just one.
- igneo676 4y agoChoosing an instance limits you in two ways: 1. The rules of what you're allowed to post 2. The other instances that they choose to federate with (typically a block list that is public) If you find yourself limited, common advice is to create more accounts (alts) to work around those limitations I've also seen people host their own instance and get around the lack of federation (but you limit the visibility of your posts from organic traffic)
- altantiprocrast 4y ago> The rules of what you're allowed to post Additionally, most popular generic instances allow you to post anything except for ads, explicit hate, or nsfw without a warning.
