You need to visit from lemmy.world. If you just open in a new tab or whatever it won't "transfer" your account over. The easiest way you can do that is to throw those links into the search box in lemmy.world and wait for it to pop up with a link there.

Is that specific to lemmynsfw.com? I haven't had any issues opening links from the front page in other instances. Or is this because the links are in a comment? Because even if I click on one of those to open in this tab, it still has the same issue.

You can't go to lemmynsfw.com and click subscribe because you don't have an account here. You need to click the subscribe button on your local server (lemmy.world). It's specific to nsfw communities. You can try https://lemmy.world/c/porn@lemmynsfw.com if you want to subscribe, or use the search bar and search for !porn@lemmynsfw.com (or any other community you like).

Because of the way Lemmy works, you won't see any comments on posts older than when the first person on your instance subscribed. So, if you're the first person on your community to subscribe to a particular "foreign" community it may seem like the community is rather dead at first glance.

Is there a way to make it load older posts? Some of the ones I go into have literally nothing.

Some communities literally have 0 posts. People probably made them and hoped other people would start posting.

I think the admins here are working on making the NSFW posts visible by default so browsing the site without an account should confirm whether or not that's true. For now you can check a community's side bar to see how many posts you may be missing.
