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.

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.
Nurse ova here
I work in HR. Im also working on getting the fuck out of HR. Not into anything techy, though. I came here from reddit just before rif died.
Not technically in tech, I’m an oceanographer but work with numerical modeling so ehhhhh
No technical background: historian, former university teacher and researcher, now researching at a museum. Did teach digital humanities though and am uhm… tech friendly?
Im in HVAC/plumbing. But I mainly install the stuff.
I built my own Computer, use Linux and am passionate about floss and privacy issues.
Lit major, no tech. Have taught kids, been unpaid home nurse, worked retail. I can turn it off and back on again, but that’s all.
I’m a mom that works part time in accounts. Definitely not IT technical.
Here because Apollo and RIF have gone and I saw reddit posts directing me here. Might leave because 50% of the posts here are “reddit is shit” and I’m just not that interested in that circle jerk.
Bro I don’t even understand what a server is. My spouse explains it to me like every second week and I get it for like 30 seconds but I just don’t understand to remember. I’m also not sure what a router is. Apparently Wifi is like radio, just waves? Wtf
I’ve got a MSc degree in Biomedicine and before going on parental leave (still am) I’ve worked in pharmaceutical research and with DNA/RNA analytical services in the lab. My biggest tech experience was trying to code with R and I hated it and it was a mess.
Attorney here.
I majored in English, now I make artisanal pizzas.
Not a techie, background in journalism.
I ain’t educated in any field, but ive been fucking with mostly old tech since I was like 9 im now 23.
Beyond that ive got nothing.
Marketing / illustrator. I’m tangentially techy 👌
Legal field for me, but I’ll be honest. I was planning on quitting Reddit cold turkey and doing something else with my free time but my software project manager husband kept talking about Lemmy, so here I am.
