Sure. How many examples do you want? Just from Lemmy, or are articles from Left-wing magazines alright too? Twitter and Reddit are low-hanging fruit, so we can exclude them.
Twitter and Reddit are low handing fruit, but Lemmy isn't? Lol...
Anyways, yes, I'd be interested in some left-wing magazines that aren't just a tankie/"America bad, Russia good" outlet. Maybe 3 different sources if you have that many?
Other way around - the left-wing magazines (actual magazines, not Kbin communities) I'm talking about praising the Houthis very much are "America Bad Russia Good" types.
Can you just provide some sources so we have context as to what you are talking about?

Bonus non-puff pieces, providing an outside (if hostile) look at the ongoing process of the Houthi 'rehabilitation' in some circles:
