Surprisingly less porn than you'd imagine. Though I go a different way, I browse all (because of FOMO) but block communities that post stuff I don't want to see. Now I have a very tailored all feed that also includes new stuff I might not have known about to subscribe to.

Yep, I do this as well. It's like subscriptions plus surprises.

This is the way to go. I encourage everyone to block users too. Lots of them. It really does affect your experience of the site. I sometimes scroll thru the comments of some controversial topic only to find the most extreme commentors that bring nothing of a value to the conversation just so that I can pre-emptively block them. I'd say that 3 times out of 4 when I log out to see a comment that a blocked user wrote I just find that I did the right decision.
