It has come to my attention that mastodon.art blocks a wide variety of the more popular LGBT instances, and so if you happen to be a queer artist there, you may not realize that your queer art gets very limited reach.
Having looked at mastodon.art's block list- which seems to be hundreds of instances long- I can confirm that this is the case.
Remember that server blocks like this are controlled by the staff of your instance and apply to everyone living there. And these blocks cannot be worked around by the user's preferences at all; it's been decided for you entirely. And unless your instance staff is very explicit about why they make these changes on your behalf, it's completely invisible to you as an end user.
You must trust in good faith that these blocks are necessary to protect the instance you live on, and that no other moderation tactic would be sufficient.
You can check the blocks yourself here: https://mastodon.art/about
