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.

    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.

    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.

    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. :-)

    Before becoming a stay-at-home dad, I was a state investigator (and a police officer prior to that). I investigated medical doctors and nurses on behalf of their respective state licensing boards, investigating things like application fraud, substandard care, unprofessional conduct, and drug diversion.

    My tech skills are limited to building a PC and basic troubleshooting.

    My wife is a therapist and she’s considering making the jump from Reddit to Lemmy.

    Fuck spez.

    I’m a social worker at an elementary school. My tech abilities are limited to addressing cyberbullying amongst 9 year olds.

    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.

    I’m an assembly line worker and have been for about five years now at different factories. Refrigerators, car parts, ag equipment, etc.

    There’s a job opening coming up at a plant that offers college benefits though, so hopefully I get to join y’all in tech in a few years. Hopefully working with so many robots and machines will give me an advantage through sheer osmosis lol

    I’m non tech.

    I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

    Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit’s shit.

    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.

    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.
