This is the only instance where I've been able to find nsfw content. Why don't other instances even show lemmynsfw.com communities?

Let's be honest. At least half of folks from reddit liked them some nsfw content (including me!) mixed with their news,politics,memes,etc from one server where they could subscribe to all. So far I haven't found any other instances that host nsfw content other than lemmynsfw.com. It doesn't seem like that jives with the philosophy of lemmy/fediverse? Why don't more instances host nsfw content?

EDIT: Obviously I'm new to all this so if I've misunderstood something I apologize. Just trying to figure all this out.

There are three or four other instances that allow nsfw content, but it's forbidden for most instances because NSFW content is a massive pain in the ass to moderate. Depending what country you're in you probably have a lot of regulations you need to follow, including in the US where you need to comply with safe harbor regulations so you don't get in trouble when some asshole uploads a bunch of underage stuff to your server.
Even outside the legal stuff, you're going to have to deal with a lot of weirdos and negotiate and regulate other people's sexual fetishes to a significant degree. Most people just don't want to deal with that, and I can't blame them.
