As an in between social dem and Marxism

I think that’s the source of most of your problems, really. There isn’t really a coherent ideology that can be described in that manner, Marxists don’t believe the state can be reformed into Socialism and Social Democrats don’t think Socialism is necessary.

I feel like generally people here are pretty cool with most opinions but leans left significantly. There is still lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad that is very toxic and an echo chamber.

Pretty much every instance can be described as an “echo chamber.” Lemmy.world is right-leaning and is dominated by Liberals, for example. Hexbear is anti-sectarian, meaning Marxists and Anarchists are allowed, just not liberalism. As for toxicity, I find Hexbear to be one of the least toxic, especially when compared to Lemmy.world.

All in all, Lemmyis definitely going to continue to be predominantly leftists unless instances outright defederate from Marxists, like Lemmy.world does, hence the current right-wing leaning.
