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?

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.

Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.

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 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 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 biologist, but have always been fairly techy in my own time outside of my work. Definitely not much of a tech person though, I can’t code or anything like that. Can troubleshoot most of my own technical issues though and built a PC.

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.

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 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.

Therapist. I’m not very techy at all.

Non-tech Background. I work for a big union and migrated here from reddit, which was my only social media site I would use.

Am just a poor peasent fastfood worker lol, I joined Lemmy because I was looking for reddits alts and I saw some people saying “don’t try to understand it too much just sign up” so I did.

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.

Non-tech background. I’m a book editor and when the Snoopocalypse happened, most of the niche communities I was a part of were shut down in protest, so I decided to give Lemmy a try. Loving it so far, as it seems way less toxic.
