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.

    Non-tech user here. Well I’m tech-minded I think, and tech-savvy. I know enough code to say that I thoroughly dislike PHP and Javascript. But that’s about it.

    I think “fediverse” and “instances” are terms many non-tech-oriented might find confusing. and off-putting, maybe because they’re not immediately intuitive. I’m aware of the concept of instancing but wasn’t sure how or where to create an account at first. I made an account on world because I figured I’d probably see more content there? I don’t know.

    And making a new account for each instance? I’m not entirely sure if that’s how it works yet but that’s my understanding. It’s intimidating, it’s daunting. Plus I’m not as tech savvy as a lot of the people here. It’s not that it’s uninviting, really–quite the opposite, in fact–but I still have this imposter syndrome-like feeling that I’m not supposed to be here.

    Idk. That’s my take.
