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.

Wastewater Operator. We have an older gentleman at my job who refuses to use computers at all. We still do everything with paper and pen. Nothing is digitized.
Probably literally mails them with postage, spending money on stamps and such.
Nowadays you can be like “oh shit my bill is due, gotta open up my finance app to pay the bill.” Before it was the same but you had to remember 3 business days in advance for the postage delivery times.
I’m tech literate but I wouldn’t consider myself technical compared to a lot of people here. I struggle with adapting to new concepts. Takes a while to get my head around them.
For instance (no pun intended) when twitter shat the bed and I heard about Mastodon being an alternative. I looked to into it but it seemed a bit overwhelming to figure out.
Fast forward to Reddit shitting the bed and the bits of knowledge learned from Mastodon helped me in converting to Lemmy.
I’m mid 40’s and it’s really frustrating that I can’t figure things out like I could in my teens and 20’s.
Photojournalist. I just pretend to know what the buttons do… it works. They all think I’m some kind of a genius with the picture machine, but I’m actually an artist.
I do ceramics full time with my SO. We run the pottery subreddit but computery stuff is just a hobby! Heard about lemmy after losing the reddit is fun app. Its much better!
I don’t have any job, since I’m disabled and just live off government disability benefits. For hobbies though, I still don’t get much into anything tech related. I do cooking and sometimes attempt writing. Unless tinkering with Linux a tiny bit sometimes counts as tech.
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 😎
