I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.
Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?

“Someone on Lemmy” is probably someone who thinks anyone who doesn’t use the right Marxist buzzwords is a CIA plant.
Yeah, I am only peripherally curious about them, so I haven’t yet done any legwork to see who’s behind it and what the values are.
I’m quite pragmatic about politics: I’d work with just about anyone to bring income disparity down, to fix problems with our version of capitalism, to address the Police Problem. Anyone who agrees we need to overhaul the election system in the US, and bring in proportional representation, RCV, eliminate the electoral college? I’d share a table with them on those efforts.
However, I feel as if joining a movement requires a bit of a deeper dive, as sympathetic issues can mask undesirable long term objectives. I don’t trust my gut instinct on these things.
