I felt like I've seen a couple. But yea, I have not seen nearly as much as on reddit. I think there are some fediverse rules that keeps bad things out (Nazis, pedos, misogyny, etc.) (I also don't fully understand the fediverse as well)

I'm not sure it's so much the rules. There are some really bad instances out there, most of which are defederated from the more popular ones because they're so filled with things like what you described.

The difference between this and reddit is that most of the instance admins aren't really interested in making a profit, don't have to answer to things like advertisers or media perception, etc. so they're more interested in creating a positive community for their users.

Each instance has their own rules, all governed by the law of wherever the instance is. Then instances may federate or not with other instances depending on how good of a match they think they are for each other. And then they unfederate Hexbear. That's the life cycle of a lemmy instance xD

I think it's mostly that shitty people tend to congregate on instances that allow them to be shitty, which then promptly get defederated
