This anon reply is great 5125217 and I'd like to add some things too:

1st thing first: If you don't have one already, make a SFW account completely separated from your NSFW one (unless the subject matter of the former attracts people very similar to the latter's). That way not only you save yourself some trouble but also avoid detracting people from following you (Some people are prudes or might not want to indirectly associate themselves with your nsfw art).

>when you have the whole literal fucking planet available to look at your shit
While this is technically true, the reality of the situation is that the visibility of your art or how many people even get the chance to look at it is something that depends heavily on your followers and people liking/sharing/retweeting/bookmarking your work.

Most people discover new users/accounts/content because someone they follow redirected/retweeted or quoted them. So the best way to increase the visibility of your work is by doing light networking:
E.g. Following artists that produce art akin to yours or that you enjoy, like, retweet, bookmark their art and post short comments occasionally, etc. And if they like your art back they'll probably do the same, and thus their followers and your followers will start to notice each others' works and a virtuous cycle is being put in motion.

Another strategy is searching for a niche of artists and people who enjoy the type of SFW art you make (They're usually forums or "super serious" art websites, although maybe a subreddit could be good depending on your subject matter), making a place for yourself within said niche and eventually (if the people are good and you assess they might be interested in your art) redirect them to your sfw account.
