I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (self.showerthoughts)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

I see just as much if not more complaining about “tankies” as on subs like subredditdrama, it’s not that leftist

I literally saw a guy earlier today in that one large memes thread trying to convince people that Eastern European countries yearn for the USSR days.

Only tankies try to do that lol.

A lot of people there do yearn for the return of the USSR. You can argue about why, but the polling is quite clear that many people miss socialism
