Since the rules preclude it, we can't discuss what Lemmy is most biased about. The remaining biases tend to be in the tech/nerdcore genre, which makes sense, since many average Joe users have problems navigating the registration/instance selection process, keeping their numbers down on the platform.
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Im still pretty unclear on the whole instance selection thing. I just tried a few until one worked.
If in doubt, just try it until it works. If it still doesnt work either learn why or give up.
I haven't seen much Zionist propaganda here (unlike major subreddits, for example) and, when it is posted, it's e-boo'd with downvotes. 👍
Holy shit, what aren't? It would be a shorter list.
In no particular order: Anticapitalist, pro LGBT+, lots of stoners, most users from Americas and Western/Central Europe, lots of computer nerds, some anarchs, some tankies, anti religion
Honestly similar to leftist parts of Reddit BUT with the voice of reason usually coming out on top in the comments. That means in comparison it's less alarmist, less extreme in general and just more nuanced.
One topic that I think is a blind spot is the anti religion part. Many users don't distinguish between anti religion and anti spirituality, the latter frankly being none of their business. It's oddly accepted to be aggressively atheist here. Another blind spot is the prevalent defeatism. It's not everyone but I don't think people are aware of what they're doing to their own mind when they only focus on bad news all day.
