Lemmy has some unique issues beyond that, it's developed by and for tankies and it shows. I wouldn't blame anyone for looking at any even vaguely political community on .ml (effectively the flagship instance run by the devs) and just going straight back to Reddit.
I recall my first account was before anyone defederated from hexbear and the sheer amount of poorly educated techbrah takes on Marx/leftism was shocking.

That's ridiculous. There's no such thing as politics free social media
100% of the people that I've mentioned Lemmy to have done exactly this, followed by expressing distress at ME that I would even mention Lemmy to them in the first place! Unbeknownst to me (bc I chose to forget), I had invited them to a Nazi bar. I may sit here over in my quiet corner and block all of that out, but it is what it is at the end of the day, especially to a newcomer.
