Might take a look at the instance I’m on. Lemmy.sdf.org. It’s pretty chill, and SDF has been doing the social media thing since the 80’s without much issue. Started as a dial up BBS devoted to anime back in the day. Leans anime, music/art generally and computers. Supported via donations.

Oh neat, I'll take a look! Thanks!
I mean, it's probably best to stay out of political subs at that point. Reddit's pretty far left of... mainstream US media, and yeah lemmy is fairly left of reddit.
But to be honest, just politics in social media will always be arguing. You aren't likely to find a political group that perfectly lines up with exactly where you are.

Not really, it's taken me quite a while to curtail the content I see to just stuff I actually want to see. Keyword filters are helpful tho not perfect since a lot of people will self censor and thus bypass the keyword filters.
At a minimum, you'd want to find an instance that blocks lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net. lemmy.world already blocks both of those though. The next instance you'd probably want to block is lemmy.ml, which not many other instances do. beehaw.org does, but also blocks lemmy.world, which cuts out a lot of the threadiverse.
If you felt like it, you could explain how to do instance blocking on your user profile. That might be too much for people that don't really care either way and just want stuff to work, though.
@Blaze@feddit.org might also have opinions on this, having spent a lot of time over on Reddit convincing people to try out Lemmy
I really don't get this "if you don't block XYZ, it means you are in favor of them".
My instance does not block any of the big tankies, and yet it has not been a problem.
I'm not saying that leaving an instance unblocked means you're in favor of them, to be clear. My response was only addressing the issue of achieving a "normie" experience.
