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.

I am a loader on a dust cart. I found out about this type of website through my brother, who was mates with the IT guy where he worked. He told him about Digg and reddit, which I then joined. I actually prefer the tech side of things rather than everything being memes.
I have an Associates in Electronics. I graduated just as the recesion reared it’s ugly head in the early '90’s. With nothing else to do, I cleaned carpet for 20 years. I have dabbled in computers and programming in A86 but never got too deep into them.
Let’s just say I know enough to mess up everything I touch if I’d let myself…
I’m a pilot, certified flight instructor. Not professionally techy, but like techy stuff as a nerdy pastime. Lemmy’s honestly not that complicated, you just need to be willing to put up with the bugs and growing pains. I’m enjoying the ride so far!
I’m a stand-up comic and game show host. I migrated from reddit, where I founded /r/feminineboys and then passed it to capable moderators and abandoned the site as Apollo died.
A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.
I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a “techie”. It’s just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you’ll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).
So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.
I have my own carpet installation business, no formal tech knowledge but I’m a hobbyist and taught myself html and some visual basic in the late 90s early 00s when I was a young teenager and have always built my own computers to play games on, somice always had an interest without ever really getting involved as a.career 35 yo currently.
I work in a warehouse and take care of exotic animals on the side. I feel I have the basics down for tech but not enough to do IT or something. My family and friends contact me for tech help so I guess I know more than the average person. Even though I literally just Google everything, most of the time.
I’m a medical lab manager. I don’t work in tech professionally, but it has always interested me. By default I handle all my labs technical issues. Lol I loved using reddit via a 3rd party app and was disgusted how things were handled so I have come here to test the waters. So far I’m finding this exciting and I’m having fun!
