Next DNS doesn't respond to any help issues.
NextDNS gives you a whole bunch of 3rd party filters, maintained by random dudes in Github repos as a hobby. We support some of them too in the "3rd party filters" tab, however we don't encourage anyone to actually use them, as we have our own Native filters, that we've built up over the course of 5 years based on feedback for millions of Windscribe (our sister company) users. Our native filters are highly effective, and prone to much fewer false positives. We recommend you try them, you will be pleasantly surprised with how they perform. I guarantee you that you will spend 90% less time making whitelist rules for false blocks... or your money back :) "Native tracking protection" filters are all part of the IoT Filter. NextDNS has the individual toggles, which enforce this small set of rules. Out IoT filter enforces all of them, as well as 10x more things.

DNS server set to Pihole but no traffic
I've added the Ads & Tracking list and the AMP Hosts list from Developer Dan to the default list; any others you recommend I add? It's hard to tell if the ads coming through are a 'my blocklist isn't good enough' problem or a 'my pihole's not set up properly yet' problem.

Annoying A/B testing mistakes every engineer should know

Is it okay to use pi-hole if I don’t know what the hell I’m doing?
This is how you learn. Going forward you'll start noticing some ads and some not, based on the default adlist. I think the default adlist is good enough for starting. But you should also look into developer dan's adlist and ticked firebog adlist.
-
What filters do you people use for adguard?
Enable most of the default ones, use DNS filtering. I use Cloudflare DNS. And for some third-party filters you can load, I recommend Steven Black hosts, OISD blocklists, Developer Dan hosts and AnudeepND Blacklist.

What are some alternatives?
blacklist - Blacklist and Adware Blocking for the Ubiquiti EdgeMax Router
The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
