Why are there more liberals per total number of users in Lemmy than in Reddit?
For instance in r/latestagecapitalism there are almost 1 million leftists and posts explode in popularity vs posting on Lemmy and getting negative points due to the sheer number of liberals compared to leftists

Lemmy is full of people with strong political convictions. That's why they took the leap to move here, a niche and confusing platform. But since most users came from reddit, that means we got a thousand passionate libs for every one communist.
I'm not sure that there's a bigger ratio of libs:commies on lemmy. I think that our libs are just more ardent because if they were passive they wouldn't be here in the first place.

I don’t think there are a higher proportion of liberals on Lemmy.
I imagine that many more people browse by “all” on Lemmy than on Reddit. If so, then the only people seeing r/latestagecapitalism posts are those who explicitly want to see them, whereas on Lemmy, lots of liberals see anti-liberal posts from anti-liberal communities.
