Stop hanging out in spaces defined by political affiliation then. It’s your responsibility to chose spaces that meet your needs. Don’t hang out in the wrong place then sulk because it’s not what you want it to be.
You’re not on “Lemmy”. Your a pawb.social user on a Lemmy.ml community. Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy. Lemmy.ml is an Lemmy instance (just like pawb.social.) The purpose of the Lemmy.ml instance is for communists to come together to talk communist shit. The memes community within Lemmy.ml therefore is an absolutely perfect place for them to post left-wing memes. If you want to see memes by and for a general purpose audience then hang out at at Lemmy.world memes community. It’s notLemmy.ml user’s fault you think they are a general purpose Lemmy instance like Lemmy.world is. That’s your fault and the solution is for you to make an effort to find the spaces that serve your needs not to pick random spaces and tell them they are doing it wrong for not alligning to your incorrect expectations.
Depends whether or not you think most instances should take a stance against the far left. Personally I think the fact people treat Lemmy.ml as a generic all purpose sub rather than focusing that effort onto places like lemmy.world or lemm.ee is pretty messy and will only continue to create more and more issues. As for creating your own instance and defederating, why do that rather than just block their communities as a user if you want to avoid communist groups? Presumably there is a reason you wanted to be part of Beehaw?

Sounds like most instances need to defederate from lemmy.ml then. Or I need to make my own instance and defederate.

Thanks for putting it so eloquently.
For example, memes on lemmy.world instead of lemmy.ml
