MODERATORS
Plenty of smaller, interests specific ones. Some even ban frogposters on sight or only allow politics in a containment thread. I think /comfy/ board is still alive somewhere. There are also a few larger openly-left ones, like the infamous /leftypol/ (split into leftypol.org and leftychan.net, each with their own pros and cons) and GETchan (famously upload some great music compilations). I was about to suggest lainchan but you already have. Nukechan is probably too slow but has some high-quality threads.
Erischan and plus4chan are interest-specific and not explicitly left, but have left tendencies.
The chan format (not merely the minimal aesthetic of English language chans) has a big impact on their culture. I don't really believe in just putting a Yotsuba B skin over Lemmy. There are federated imageboards (I don't believe it's fediverse) but moderation is probably a nightmare, I assume it would just be used be freeze peach naziphiles banned from everywhere less.
