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)
There is porn that is legal in one country but illegal in another. And there are people that don’t want to host porn on their servers for other reasons.
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.
That’s true, and if an instance starts to share walkthroughs on how to i.e. create bombs or guns etc. every admin should question themselves if they should federate with the server.

porn isn’t illegal though?

I never thought about that, seems sound to me. Thanks for pointing that out.
but the same reasoning works for a lot of other content (about pirating, privacy, hacking tools etc).
