Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

Reddit was only ever left of center for Americans. To many/most non Americans, America consists of a far right party and a center to center right party.
What you're seeing is the result of a platform that wasn't first created by and for American audiences, and whose initial takeup wasn't dominated by American perspectives.

Lemmy world left???? Lol they’re milquetoast liberals and capitalism is garbage. Your friend needs to grow up.
-
Yeah, this is exactly the childish annoyances and unpleasantness I'm talking about.
-
Sorry not sorry. The world is falling to fascism thanks to the conditions created by capitalism and your friend needs to grow the fuck up and read some history. Lemmy world is centrist lib shit takes, if your friend thinks that’s “left” then maybe they should go to a fascist platform like meta or x where they belong.

I guess... Well, I have trouble seeing the fediverse expand that far then. Which is fine but there have been a lot of pleas to make this a viable alternative to corpo social media.

Mate, you're not going to deconvert libs by pushing them towards the fascists. You don't have to be so antagonistic all the time.
-
As a queer person I’ve completely lost my patience with shit libs. They’re fascists.
Also if they’re that easily pushed to fascism they had it in them all along and were never an ally and don’t belong on lemmy.

Lemmy.world is considered the "normie" instance. Even if you manage to find another instance, it won't matter that much anyway since most interactions are from federated users. The only way to avoid leftist views on Lemmy is to avoid politics completely (which isn't viable).

I distinctly remember liberal messages rising to the top on Reddit, stuff like that you should just accept that you have to go out and work for a living. That's not left!

10s of millions of "left wing" (read, the entire spectrum from center to marx) folks believe that, for better or worse.
That opinion is entirely valid as "left wing" but certainly isn't very left, on an absolute scale.

I disagree. Having some kind of grievance with capitalism an sich is central to being leftwing.

Many people block all political communities and keywords. It's definitely viable.
