Pretty much all of lemmy outside lemmygrad is a lib space, especially now after the influx of reddit users. Lemmy.ml admins for example are Marxists but the majority of the users are just libs.
And Redtea was correct, i meant World News community at lemmy, though lately with the reddit run nearly entire lemmy and all federated instances except lemmygrad filled to the brim with all manners of libs, ultras, anarchists etc.
Lemmy is an internet protocol, like Email. Just like anyone can start their own email server, anyone can start their own Lemmy “Instance”.
An “Instance” is a website. It is wholly controlled by the people who run (or rent) the servers. “Lemmygrad.ml” is an instance. So is “Lemmy.world” and “Lemmy.ml”
Instances have Communities, which are like subreddits. But Instances can also “Federate” with each other, so you can see and comment on posts from your home instance on federated instances. This is why, when you’re browsing Lemmygrad’s front page with browsing set to “All” (instead of “Local” or “Subscribed”), you’ll see posts from “asklemmy@lemmy.ml” or “Fediverse@lemmy.world”.
The developers of the Lemmy protocol are Marxists. They run their own instance, lemmy.ml, but it is not an explicitly ideological instance like lemmygrad.ml. There is a Nazi instance, exploding-heads. Most major instances do not federate with them, except the shitty “free speech” ones. There is no way to prevent Nazis from using Lemmy, because no-one owns Lemmy. It would be like trying to prevent Nazis from using Email.
Lemmygrad federates with most instances, except porn instances and fascist instances. Many instances choose not to federate with Lemmygrad due to “Tankie” hysteria.
I didn’t know that lemmy world is a lib space, I thought whole lemmy is a marxist space.

Small correction.
The protocol is activitypub, not Lemmy. Lemmy is a software that uses the activitypub protocol for federation.
