I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

It’s made by Communists

As a leftist myself (not a communist), I've found that the biggest difference for now is that I'm not seeing censorship against anyone politically right of Bernie Sandars, (other than downvotes). I don't care if Lemmy leans left and/or commie, but I hate it when someone behind the scenes decides whether or not I should be able to debate/talk to my political opposites. The reddit censorship was super frustrating, especially when the goalposts of what's offensive keeps moving.

There has been some. It was a huge scandal for one day at the beginning of this lemmy hype.

Yeah, I think the behaw one deffederated lemmy.ml, which I signed up under. I just made an account under a different instance to see their stuff.
