People who are not working in IT, what do you? Does your profession have an active community here?

I am in my "50 years old and working a shitty remote job as an expat because I just don't give a fuck anymore" phase. I answer emails from clients regarding financial matters. Very boring stuff. There's no community here for it, and thank Jeebus for that. Honestly, AI could do my job (and it often does, but don't tell my boss).

Auto Insurance. I mean, I'm sure there's a community around hating it. 😂

Event planner. Started as a technician, running lights and/or sound for events. Concerts, dance shows, musicals, corporate sales events, etc… Eventually fell into the admin and planning side of things, because freelancing isn’t a viable retirement strategy.

No, I doubt I’ll ever see a community here. But that’s alright; If I wanted to talk about work, I’d talk to coworkers.

Project Manager for a silicon photonics company. I haven’t really looked for an active community on Lemmy yet for project management. I was on the Reddit sub for PMs which actually had great discussions sometimes.

Medical Device Quality Manager... I doubt I will ever see a community here about my field and I'm quite happy about that 😅 I'm here to escape work not read up on it

I'm an environmental health officer, formerly a food technologist. I inspect food businesses (home businesses all the way up to big manufacturers), childcare facilities, hospitals, accommodation (hotels, motels, aged care, rooming houses), beauty businesses (nails, tattoo, waxing, etc), recreational water (pools, beaches, lakes, etc), wastewater systems.

I investigate complaints regarding any of the above, pests, environmental pollution (dust, noise, nuisance complaints), secondary impact assessments (after a major incident like fire, flood, earthquake), food borne illnesses, communicable diseases, food recalls.

Not an inclusive list. We are on the prevention side rather than the reactive side like nurses and doctors, so we tend to go unnoticed.

I don't think there's an active community anywhere for EHOs. Anyone know of any? I follow some food communities, but that's it. I don't get involved with people arguing about food safety on the internet because there are some people whose minds can't be changed.

Edit: Sorry, this came out way longer than I expected. Still in bed, haven't had coffee yet, still kind of groggy.. But it's the weekend.

I drive trains for a living. Freight trains. Locomotive engineer.

I do science in genomics, bioinformatics, fungi, and plants. Im not sure if there are specific communities

I am a homesteader/artist. Communities are starting some now but they're few and far between. I'm certainly an outlier on Lemmy as communities for my interests go. I grew up building PC's and accessing internet for Usenet but now I am old and I've lost track. I was an early adopter of piracy and Reddit when it came around. These places have kept me from paying for tv and movies for over 20 years as well as keeping in touch with privacy somewhat.

Bartender, no community that I'm aware of but it's a tradition to visit the cocktail communities and laugh/ rage at the the pretentious cocktail snobs there.

Industrial steam industry. If there's another boilermaker on here I haven't met them.

Office Admin for Post Secondary. There is no office admin community, and there's an academia community

I work as a Bartender/server in a fine dining setting. There seem to be a few of us lurking around. The cocktail community has a little action. But nothing huge yet.

I am an exercise physiologist. There is no active community on reddit, so even less on lemmy. If you know some rehabilitation or physical exercise subs I'll be happy to join them ! :)

I am a scientist. Quite a few around here.

I'm a bicycle mechanic. Most of us are technophobic so i doubt there's another one
