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.

A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.
I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a "techie". It's just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you'll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).
So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.

This is, without exaggeration, literally all that's required to become a techy.
Maybe so, although I don't really have a interest in that. I really wish I was able to maintain my skills in both "fields". I've found out that nowadays it is important to have people who can interpret layman problems and wishes to techies and explain technological "jargon" to "normal" people. Being a middleman like this seems to have it's benefits.
