The end game is to either run your own instance, or find an instance that is run by an admin with the same mindset as you might have.
Or use multiple accounts on different instances that represent your different interests. Like maybe you have a "news & shitposting" account, and another "programming and piracy" one, etc. And ensure each account is on an instance that supports the necessary federations to support that.
I found one that apparently does for me, but then that mindset is "let me see everything, and leave what I want to view up to me".
That's a pretty common mindset amongst small instance runners I think, including the one I'm on. Only caveat, this instance doesn't allow NSFW posting (viewing is fine), and has a pretty vague ban policy lmao
