Preface to say I don’t necessarily hold these views, just my observation:
.ml is considered “tankie”
Blahaj.zone is shitposty and pretty solidly trans-friendly/oriented
.world is “neutral,” and I think federated with most instances (I joined this one bc I was brand new here and it seemed beginner friendly, but I lean further left so ¯\(ツ)/¯ may instance hop in the future)
Lemm.ee runs similar to .world but maybe slightly more right leaning
Sh.it.justworks is predominantly techie
Sopuli.xyz seems primarily meme-centric
Feddit.org seems neutral-ish and more EU based, beyond that don’t know much
I’m sure there’s others I’m missing/stereotypes I’m wildly wrong about or not yet informed but that’s what I’ve gleaned so far.
While lemmy.ml isn't explicitly tankie like lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.chat, the fact that it's the instance run by the two OG Lemmy devs (who, along with most of the instance's admins, are Marxist Leninists) means you tend to get tankie friendly moderation. Most infamously, sinophobia is cracked down on, so shitlibs can't just go hog wild with stuff like Tinyman Square and "West Taiwan" and such.
No, I understand that. I was just commenting on how weird it is that some people would take that position when there's no evidence that I can see that it's actually true. No worries, my friend! :)
Where did you get the impression that Lemm.ee is (more) right-leaning? Lemm.ee does not really have a leaning (in the fediverse).
Lemm.ee has awesome uptime, hands of moderation, up to date Lemmy, and doesn't defedarate (we live in the glorious age of Lemmy 19 and not in the dark ages anymore; the user can block stuff).
Both c/conservative on Lemm.ee and Lemmy.world are currently unmoderated (no community moderators).
The one community moderator on .ee got banned for some Nazi shit.
Now in both communities there is lots of love for trans people🏳️⚧️
