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 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.
Arborist. No real tech background or skills but always been interested in tech trends and issues, so I keep up with those things more than the average person.
Not really, unfortunately. I added all that seemed relevant but most aren’t really active yet. I was thinking of making a tree focused community but haven’t had time.

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.
This applies to me, except I’m an English major and had to cheat to pass high school math even with a full time tutor! I’m not intimidated by technical stuff though; when I get stuck I can usually find the answers by Googling. I did get pretty frustrated by how many times I had to try to simply get an account opened, and I still hate that I can’t see my password when I log in.
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
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.
Turns out a maths Master’s isn’t specific enough for most jobs I applied for. I eventually got fed up with the ridiculously long application processes and took the easy route.
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.
Non-tech background. I’m a book editor and when the Snoopocalypse happened, most of the niche communities I was a part of were shut down in protest, so I decided to give Lemmy a try. Loving it so far, as it seems way less toxic.
Hey, I’m an editor too. I’m disappointed I can’t use reddit to network with authors anymore. Hopefully Lemmy will start some writing & editing communities soon!
I mean, I was a 25B in the army, which could be counted as technical, except that after training I pretty much never saw another army computer and became a radioman.
