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’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. :-)
62 years old woman, semi-retired, only work part time now. I was in the travel business. Found Lemmy thru a Reddit comment a few months ago. Felt the need for a change. Currently with Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon, trying to find my place.
Work on/build racecars. Some of it’s very technical, but probably not the type you’re asking about. Also a woman. I’m checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?
I’m a substitute teacher, and definitely not technical but my husband is, and he introduced me to Reddit many years ago. It was fun but I only ever used it on the RIF app. When I saw what was happening last month, I read a thread that suggested Lemmy as an alternative so here I am.
Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.
I’m a music teacher!
I’m disabled and unemployed with only a GED education. I’m not a programmer or anything. I taught myself basic HTML in 1997 when I was 10, but that’s about as far as I go. I know juuuuust enough about tech to understand and appreciate that Lemmy is decentralized and open-source.
But I think you’ll find that a lot of new users are only here because Spez is ruining Reddit. All they’re looking for is a Reddit that doesn’t suck.
Very technical. Technically, I build chairs!!
I work in a bakery. I used to be a nurse. But my husband is in tech otherwise I wouldn’t know about Lemmy more than likely.
I’m a massage therapist just blundering my way through this space…
I do not have a tech background. I am a baker in my mid 30’s. I became sick of reddits shit, and once RIF was gone I was done.
I really like Lemmy, even though I admit it is a bit confusing at times, but I’ve gotten the jist of it I think.
Non-tech Background. I work for a big union and migrated here from reddit, which was my only social media site I would use.
I’m a geologist.
Union ironworker, mainly do heavy rigging and crane work. Not tech related at all, but I’ve helped build data c enters all over the US
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.
