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.

Not very technical, I manage the testing of an anti money laundering system for a bank. I work with lots of coders but I’m definitely not one myself, more of an analyst than anything else.
I picked lemmy because I didn’t want to continue using reddit and this seemed like the best alternative when I did a small amount of browsing. So far I enjoy it even with less content, means I waste less time scrolling.
Very mixed background. Retail, customer service, warehouser, some technical support (HP laser printers in the 00s), a season and a half of a TV show, single-dad, commissioned fanfiction writer…
Mighty housewife. Used to have a semi-techy civilian job with the military. I recently volunteered to manage a very small community computer lab in my town. cybersecurity and sysadmin have been instructive here, but I usually can be found loitering at noncredibledefense.
I assume, considering this is the fediverse, that by “technical” you mean IT-related, Silicon Valley type fields.
While I grew up on computers and know my way around them, and have a bachelor’s degree in biochem, I’m an Operating Engineer.
That’s the proper title of “union guy that runs heavy construction equipment.” Mostly, I help build or resurface roads.
I’m one of the guys y’all get irritated with when your local highway is restricted to one lane by a work enclosure, but are thankful for when your new road rides nice.
It pays really well though, so there’s that. And it is actually very technical, but in a materials/engineering sense.
