With Lemmy, entire instances can be more like a single subreddit or a small set of them. Comms often lack clear distinctions in topic or focus and this is particularly true for small instances. They look more like the old-school forums that Reddit replaced but with better tooling and interfaces and ways to discover them.
Some of the large instances, by contrast, have complete Le Reddit brain and constantly want to speak to the manager about you daring to contradict them. That's not the curated liberal echo chamber they signed up for! Nor what the admins nor their mods signed up for! They just wanted another Reddit with some vague nonsense about open APIs and they are, predictably, constantly shedding users back to Reddit.
