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

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.

this is probably what Putin and others want, to divide and conquer

Not even Putin, a lot of politicians (including both American parties) want that. Their primary purpose is not to improve the lives of their citizens, but to protect the interests of the rich.

Don't forget continuing problems rather than fixing them and pushing propaganda that keep their voters perpetually enraged to manipulate them for their votes so they can give themselves another raise, commit insider trading, continue getting lobbied to, etc. You know, career politician scumbag shit.
