If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

Lemmy has also taken over advertiser focused moderation patterns. A great example is NSFW. What is NSFW exactly? Not safe for work? Why is only that relevant?
NSFW is just used to mark advertiser unfriendly content. Why else group nakedness, violence, sexual content, and death in the same category?
It's way too vague to be useful, you have no idea if you're going to see a nipple or a murder.

Content warnings like on Mastodon are better, but don't provide a way to reliably filter out categories. I personally think it would be way better to have specific nested tags for certain types of material.

Are you new to the internet? NSFW literally means what it says: it's content that would not be safe for you to be viewing at work.

Advertising has nothing to do with it, which is why you still get ads on NSFW boards on 4chan; they're just NSFW ads.

If you work from home it becomes NSFH.
