It's a reference to the Sandwich Alignment Chart, "a burrito is a sandwich"
The chaotics aren't actually ergo because the rules of what counts as ergo have broken down, that's the joke.
See this table for the descriptions.

It appears this instance straight-up has NSFW disabled, you can't opt-in to seeing NSFW posts on your feed nor make posts marked as such. I might be wrong about what it being disabled means. So that issue may be moot and not require defederation.
One the flip side I do wonder if a blanket disabling of "NSFW" is too much, there are plenty of things that one might reasonably wish to mark or be marked as NSFW that is not porn, gore, or other such content. This could have the effect of either stifling some of the communities on this instance or people posting things in the grey area without marking them NSFW, even if they would have if the button to do so we're present and people scrolling may have preferred that they did.
Food for thought.
From my cursory inspection of how things are working, all the the content is replicated between instances but things like images are just links, the UI and the back-end provide a means to upload an image but what that is doing is uploading an image to the user's instance and then putting the link in the post. Pretty standard stuff for a link aggregator. The important thing here is that the image itself is not replicated around the fediverse, but stays where it was uploaded and is linked to. Of course, thumbnails seem to still be locally generated as you'd expect.
So the legal issue is diminished by that, but not illuminated. Something like loli hentai that is illegal in the UK won't be hosted on these servers even if posted on a federated server, though I'm not saying it wouldn't be reasonable to defederate from that instance on other grounds than legal liability. However the thumbnail is a very low resolution image of illegal content, and I don't think lemmy has some kind of "grey list" where content is still available through your instance but nothing of consequence gets replicated locally, thumbnails not generated, etc. I'm not sure what the legal situation is surrounding outlinks to illegal content not thumbnails thereof. Furthermore I don't know what kind of protections platforms have when it come to liability for user-generated content, like the US Section 230, but I don't think there is much.
It might be better to host the actual servers for this instance outside of the UK as a result, that could very well be the case anyway.
Anyway IANAL and I've only done some cursory poking around into how lemmy handles the replication of content between instances so there are almost certainly things I'm overlooking.
A good place to start is our wiki, you'll find there a small list of some popular keyboards as well as links to other databases of keyboards what hopefully will help you. some obvious ones: Corne (crkbd), Kyria, Iris, Lily58, Sofle, Sweep.
If you search, the open-source ones linked generally are being sold as kits in a few places, so have a look around. you can see a list of vendors in our wiki too, it may not be exhaustive but it's pretty comprehensive.
Yeah, this is it. I had this happen to the community I moderate today. The fix can only be applied by admins.
you can simply mutate the url from https://other.instance/c/community to https://your.instance/c/[email protected] but yeah, it's a pain. It's a good opportunity for a simple browser extension or script that does some URL rewriting.
I found that on mobile, Jerboa has some instance url associations for major instances and that means that links can open in that, where you're logged in to your account on your home instance, and it handles it. but it's been hit-and-miss for me as to whether it'll open in the app or continue in mobile browser.
I recently bought RIF golden platinum just to give back to the dev, knowing that very soon the app will stop working. I'm hoping the dev could reuse his code and swap out the backend to make a lemmy client of the same caliber. It really is a good app.
Yeah, I searched so many things on their GH. I'll mark dup of the original.
Valid criticism, i have a few but never finished a build. I bunny-hopped the corne and now it just doesn't have enough stagger for me, the main reason i've got builds of it in the pipeline is just because it feels wrong not to have at least one.
