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.

Am just a poor peasent fastfood worker lol, I joined Lemmy because I was looking for reddits alts and I saw some people saying “don’t try to understand it too much just sign up” so I did.
I’m a music composer and currently learning deep learning to help me compose music and arrange it. I don’t know if I should consider myself as a non-tech person or not.
non tech, i currently am not working but i have a bachelor’s degree in paleontology and am currently studying for my master’s in museum studies. my partner is a programmer but i’m the one that introduced her to lemmy
Political scientist checking in, but I'm doing statistics in R and installed Linux for the first time before I hit puberty, so I guess I'm not entirely non-technical.
Am here both out of an interest for open source and because I consider centralized social media platforms to be dangerous for society, so it seems worthwhile to help fight them. I'm also pushing 30, so I'm nostalgic to the days of yore of independent forums.
Pre-Med student here. Just ya average non-average queer neurodivergent zoomer. I’m not from a tech background, but I do use Linux, which basically makes me a programmer 😎
I fix (flatpanel) TVs as a side hustle, but I wouldnt call that technical since 90% of the time, its just a blown capacitor on the backlight power rail. 6% of the time, its a blown backlight itself, and the remaining 4% of the time its something else that usually requires in my personal experience, for me and my limited skills (Which is mostly just common sense and internet searching, no actual practical skill besides knowing how to solder), to either pass or part shotgun it, depending.
well, i’ve gotten a few broken screens, but those arent fixable, so i dont really count those.
mostly I’m just a gamer, and any technical skill I learn is because i’m forced to to unfuck something with my linux install, heh.
Factory worker. Not tech illiterate but also not exactly an expert in any respect.
Have been abnormal though, Internet-wise. I only have a twitter to post crap from Switch to lazily import screenshots to computer. When Facebook asked for my real name I said fuck you and never looked back.
Reddit was the only social media that I actually used as social media.
62 years old woman, semi-retired, only work part time now. I was in the travel business. Found Lemmy thru a Reddit comment a few months ago. Felt the need for a change. Currently with Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon, trying to find my place.
I have no tech background. I have a degree in communications that I’m wasting as a veterinary receptionist and doctors assistant. The discount is huge for people who have a lot of animals, and wait times for appointments are very long due to the shortage in the industry. My animals are seen right away for the slightest concerns, and they get top quality care for pennies on the dollar. They’ve got me by the short and curlies.
