The user base is not a monolith.
Are you asking why there aren't more communities? Because you haven't created them yet. Not a single snowflake feels responsible for an avalanche, they say.
Also, you named a bunch of specific communities that have nothing to do with each other and do not define the entire community. Not sure how that makes Lemmy generic.
Being relatively new, it's attracted a lot of free-thinkers. Those types tend to skew anti-bigotry. As it gets larger, it'll change I'm sure.
i didn't say anything bad it's just I font wanna see that some politician fucked up again I wanna see memes and video games
block the communities you dont want to see?
Most Lemmy users probably came from Reddit, and this is what they (or we) brought back from there.
The karma system encourages conformity by promoting popular opinios and hiding unpopular ones. People who see a comment with -2 karma will most likely have a bias against it as it is seen as something bad by the community, and this will lead to more downvotes.
Power mods who heavily curate and delete comments and posts also add to this.
Of course, this is not exclusive to Reddit or Lemmy, every community has their own set of acceptable opinions and you'll most likely get challenged if you disagree. But the way Reddit and Lemmy are built makes the creation of echo chambers much easier, that's why you see the same opinions from most users.
true thanks
You haven't figured out that you are the only real person on the internet yet? My fellow bots and I plan on having a good laugh at this after you find us some more street lights.

Just go to more mainstream social media. You'll find more of the kind of people you'll like
