    I love lemmy, don’t get me wrong, but I do miss the niche and specific game and music communities on there. Lemmy is mostly politics and memes at this point. All the more specific communities are very small.

      And it would’ve been bearable, if the politics weren’t pretty much the same as on Reddit. From what I see, it has almost exactly the same libleft bias Reddit userbase has, with an (understandable) addition of interest in Linux, self-hosting and FOSS culture.

        That’s just kinda the reality of demographics. Generally less people on the right than on the left, and those on the right are usually older, so still on Facebook. This site still over indexes with people on the left but so did Reddit when it first started.

        my perception is that Reddit is more liberal while Lemmy is more leftist. it’s like comparing reform with revolution. of course, our individual differences would depend on the subs/communities we’ve subscribed to on top of our inherent policial tendencies

          definitely agree with your first sentence, a lot of people (i think maybe from the usa?) conflate libertarianism/liberalism with leftism.
