I'm taking the opposite approach, that is, instead of blocking what I don't want to see, I join what I do want to see.
Blocking is not effective if you want a "curated" feed IMO, new communities are being created all the time, especially now that many are migrating over from reddit, you might never "end" blocking stuff.
OP post is a different situation though, that kind of content is illegal in many countries (especially EU), just being federated with them could pose a legal risk, it's not just stuff some people don't want to see.
I've been browsing through new as a way of finding communities to join. The NSFW stuff in that feed is unideal but easy enough to ignore, whereas content that could send me to jail is a whole different ballgame.

Your post clarifies they ban content of "youngsters" being not obviously underage, it's not the same legally as to say someone is 18+ years old.
Exactly. And as someone else already pointed out, it just takes a single user subscribing there to have that content cached here, that would put all of us at risk from a legal point of view.
You can make this even nicer, just originally join instance that doesn't federate with nsfw, and then make another account to lemmynsfw instance, and add both of them to client. You can with one click jump between accounts at least in jerboa.
This makes a nice experience to control what you see and when
