alt Hacker NewsLemmy seem to be political as hell. Reddit is political, but the feel is like there are good old paid political astroturfing.
Lemmy is like all the folks that bought that paid astroturfing and continue it, but sincerely.
And Reddit had corners, where people could hide and talk about interesting stuff, Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to compete in that, probably due to number of users (I'm not sure though).

They represent the three most oppressed minorities online: people who think real communism has both been tried and was successful, people who think humans have rights, and programmers who want to talk about actually programming.

I'm new on Lemmy (i.e. programming.dev), but I have the impression that there are the same "corners" with interesting stuff; though I must say that also in my 10 years of Reddit I never went to political communities.
