It's just the nature of how it was founded and the sort of people who founded it. But yeah, look for other instances if its an issue, possibly look into starting your own if you're willing to take up that responsibility. I think having spaces for other viewpoints would be great for the platform as a whole.
I'm on narwhal.city, a Lotide instance which can federate with Lemmy. I'm basically the only active user here and I lean right.
There's also the Lemmy instance wolfballs.com but it seems pretty far right at first glance.
I came back a few days ago and was surprised that most of the public timeline is from Lemmy
Yeah we pull a fair amount of remote communities from lemmy instances, which all have more users that Lotide does
Pretty far removed I would say
Wetodded should not be in the word filter. It had perfectly valid uses, like mine.
