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.
If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.
I’m tech-adjacent, lol. Technically I’m in Operations, but end up also doing a little project/product management. I wear many hats, which in one way is. I’ve but in others is very annoying.
Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.
I’m a stay at home mom, no professional tech background. I came here to get away from Reddit. I am considered the “tech support” for my family and friends though. :-)
I’m a tech head, but just hardware kinda stuff. Power user, home theater, audiophile kinda stuff. Not a coder.
I bartend for money.
I used to be an accountant. I’m in the process of changing careers. It still won’t be tech related.
I’m a warehouse operator but I’m in love with tech since my first PC. I love open source stuff, I also use linux, I always root my phones to gain proper control over it. Basically enthusiast…
I’m a medical lab manager. I don’t work in tech professionally, but it has always interested me. By default I handle all my labs technical issues. Lol I loved using reddit via a 3rd party app and was disgusted how things were handled so I have come here to test the waters. So far I’m finding this exciting and I’m having fun!
Not a techie, background in journalism.
Half I guess? Graduated in a non technical field but I ended up taking a lot of CS and math classes. But now I’m not really doing anything since I’ve been depressed since college. There’s probably a lot of stuff I could do if I could get over the motivation hump.
I am a translator. I do like tech and learning about it but that’s about it.
I came to Lemmy because reddit killed 3rd party apps and because I really support the idea of the fediverse.
I love seeing the diversity in here! And so many people actually participating.
Cinema worker, diorama maker/sometime animator. I jumped ship from Reddit about 2 days before RiF became unusable. Have been progressively finding more (if not identical) interests to pursue in fediverse, and unexpectedly contributing more content than I did on Reddit.
All of my friends are either programmers or are in I.T. I’m a lowly handyman who just happens to be tech literate enough to get by.
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.
Stay at home parent, former chef. The closest thing to tech background I have is electrician training in night school.
