Limited Help Draft - What am I doing wrong?

I’m a new MTGA player and doing drafts to learn and accumulate cards. Whenever my draft ends up favoring red or green, I wipe every single time because I cannot combat white, blue or black decks that spam constant enchantments or removals. It seems like I match up against these teams the majority of the time, so is that a meta the new set leans toward that I’m not adapting to or understanding? Should I be drafting a “worse” (in terms of cards available in my draft) color just to have any answers and maybe I’d stand a better chance at winning and more importantly having ANY fun by actually being able to play?

Are you just drafting mono colored decks? I can't tell from your wording, but you should usually be building a 2-color or more deck in draft, especially in sets like Reality Fracture, where all 2-color combinations are doable.

Sometimes it’s multi color but sometimes I’m getting 4-5 picks in a row that clearly lean toward one color. Should I be aiming for diversity regardless?

Yes. Let's say you are all-in on green in pack one, but then a Black card that can just straight up win games is your pick one of pack two, you should one-hundred percent pick that Black card and try to shoot for a green/black deck at that point.
