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.

IDK, seems like European right wing is considered left wing in USA.

So for most Americans, most Europeans are left wing.

Mastodon managed to fight off bigots and nazis very successfully, maybe they do have enough brain cells to remember something I guess.

The ultraconservatives already left for gab and truth social. There are some conservative instances and a few nazi ones as well, but the aforementioned two scooped up most of right wingers willing to jump ship.
