A story about how Republican Ron Johnson is a liability because he acknowledges that Joe Biden won the last US election is currently in the top 5 on Gab's frontpage. Many similar stories are highly ranked as well. It seems quite self-evident that Gab's main audience leans conservative (in the American sense) and that conspiracy theories à "stolen election" are quite popular there. These do seem quite "far right" to me even if they might have mainstream support at the moment.
Another of your default options is "BitChute" which is a platform for similar content.
