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.

Left of what? This is the extraordinarily simple concept you're not understanding. Whatever left is it has to be left of something. What's referred to as progressivism in the US is mostly to the left of the political establishment, and media. It's center/center-left compared to the population (depending on how you define progressivism).
If you're just using your own personal desires as your calibration point, then good for you, nobody else should or does care though.
I would introduce you to the idea that there are other countries besides the US, but I see you're a lost case.
Well as someone who has never once visited the US I am shocked.
