Do you think the average Lemmy user is further left than the average reddit user? (lemmy.world)

Significantly further left. Communists and anarchists barely exist on reddit while it also has some major right wing subs. Communists and anarchists are a prominant feature of lemmy while it contains almost 0 explicitly right wing communities of significance.

    I think that one originally was started for conservatives, but then it got abandoned and someone asked the admins if they could have it to make it a satire sub. Also, your instance does block a fair bit of comms, including ones that are for right-wing (like communities with taglines or website names about being racist and misgendering people) or tankies.

    I did notice there are no conservative subs

    They exist on Lemmy, though your home instance may be blocking them or their home instances, or you just may not have seen them. lemmy.world has a fair few instances on their block list. I've had to block a few of the more egregious MAGA communities myself.

    Remember, Lemmy (as a network) is censorship resistant, not censorship free.
