Lemmy.ml or all of lemmy?
If you mean the former, through my experience chatting with folks here, lemmy.ml is mixed and diverse since most newcomers sign up there instead of browsing through other instances (probably because it's most active but that doesn't matter since there's federation). However, lemmy.ml is officially leftist as the sidebar states (something controversial and witnessed many debates).
Regarding the latter, while lemmy can be said to be not in favor of a specific ideology since the present instances are from all sides of the political spectrum. There are as well instances that aren't attached to a political ideology which is something to be encouraged on the website. The admins (also mods of lemmy.ml) have explicitly declared their leftist sentiments but outside of lemmy.ml I see no issue with that.
