Multiple reasons.

  1. Lemmy was crested by and is maintained by Marxist-Leninists.

  2. Lemmy's structure and rejection of the Profit Motive is in line with Communist ideals, and attracts Communists and other leftists over Reddit, which is Capitalist.

  3. FOSS in general is supported by Communists and Anarchists.

    FOSS is strongly supported by communists, but there's also strong support for it from right-libertarians (when I was younger I remember the stereotype being that Linux users believed taxation was theft)

    (I agree that the way FOSS operates is anarcho-communist in nature; I just think people with fringe politics are more likely to support FOSS in general)
