How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

Human troubleshooting (I’m a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven’t kept up on that in a while but I’m Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) 😂
I’m far from a technical background. I make storyboards and concepts for ads and animations. Mostly related to graphics and illustration. Sort of a digital art director.
I stopped doing the computering until around 2006 or so. At that point I was tired of slapping keys like some kind of psychology experiment bunny slapping the paddle in the cage when the light went off and on and off and on for them to spit up a food pellet.
Yeah, but i have found that I write differently if I am handwriting than when I type. So I think that it might stick around for that. And honestly I wrote cursive like a second grader for most of my life. I began practicing cursive for something cheap to do.
And like how learning some other musician’s song on guitar … a writer’s cheat is writing out the works of authors one admires is a great habit to allow influence. So don’t be quick to let it slip. And working on my cursive got me to start doodling and drawing again even in my middle age.
I’m one of those artists who write like a doctor. It’s on my bucket list to practice calligraphy. Probably would get around to that in my own middle age. Based on my research it helps sort out a lot of pathways in the brain too.
Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.
I work in hospitality. There’s a lot of waiting around at my job, so I mostly used Reddit to kill time. I hopped over to Lemmy since Wefwef’s app is better and Blahaj.zone had a Lemmy instance
My background is librarianship, but because I now work as a technical writer, I’m in close proximity to developers and I’m often looking at code and specs and such. I’m good at asking questions, which is what my job is really about. I’d say I know slightly more than the average joe on the street, but a lot less than anyone who’s actually got a technical background and skillset.
Well, I used to use reddit, but you know what happened with it… So I switched to lemmy.
The first account I made was [email protected] (and same username on lemmy.one as a backup), but then I switched to kbin. Now, after kbin is glitching out more than ever, I switched back to lemmy, but now on .world.
I’ll also set up my own instance at some point, NixOS makes it possible with just a few lines in my config.
