Squatting a place that communities call home is much more difficult with federated structures. It's not really important if these spaces get claimed on one instance as the community could easily open up on another instance and call it home.
Additionally, I think some of his/her squatted communities are NSFW - and I'm not sure what the general stance of your admins is regarding that.
I feel like porn should be it's own thing and not part of Lemmy. Like they have Mastadon for Twitter, Lemmy for Reddit, make Parakeet for porn or something like that. It could be cool, and the people who are hard-core about it can deal with the responsibility of moderating that stuff... away from here.
Are you aware that Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, .... are not encapsulated systems but just tools to participate in federated communication? There isn't really such a thing as "a post on Lemmy" and "a post on Mastodon" - the systems are transparently working together to form the Fediverse where posts can be read, commented on, blocked, reshared, etc. independent of the platform you are using.
(Or in simpler terms: Lemmy communities can be posted to from masto and so on.)
Ecapsulating types of content on the system-level is therefore not really practical and not meant to happen in the Fediverse. However, content can be more or less forced into a small number of instances that other instances/user can then choose to federate with or to block them.
