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.

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.
I’m associate director at an academic think tank. But I’ve always been interested in technology and have recently decided that i want to pivot to cybersecurity. I’ve got a long road ahead of me so here i am!
Im a biologist working in research. Ive always been a hobbyist with computers and videos games. But I never went into tech because I didn’t want to make my hobby a full time job.
Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don’t work in tech, but it doesn’t bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.
I’m a stay at home mom and a former teacher. My husband does IT, which means I do even less tech stuff than when I was single because I always just call him. I really like Lemmy. I was a casual Redditor and never used any third party apps, but after coming here to check it out, I’m now planning to stay.
US Navy Sailor: Professional PowerPoint Ranger, not computer troubleshooter. That’s for my IT homies sitting in their Div office onboard, and why I make sure they stay supplied with whatever snacks they want.
Professional land surveyor. Work a lot with raw digital data, with some experience in various coding languages to manipulate the data. Plus I know computer stuff pretty well.
I honestly don’t know where I fall on this spectrum. I went to college for Musical Theatre, becoming an accredited actor. On the other hand, I am a huge tech enthusiast. But I feel like an idiot savant. I have experience with raspberry pis, creating mods for pc games, building my pc, and some elementary Python understanding, but my understanding is very paint by numbers. If there’s not multiple articles with information on a project, I’m probably not going to be able to solve it. So like, right in the middle maybe? I’d make for a good rubber duck.
