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 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.

Hey, I'm an editor too. I'm disappointed I can't use reddit to network with authors anymore. Hopefully Lemmy will start some writing & editing communities soon!

Agreed! I've come across a couple of writing communities here, but they're still just starting out. Hopefully we'll be able to grow these communities. ๐Ÿคž

There's [email protected] and [email protected] already. Still a little lacking in activity but they're growing.

Writers are here... just waiting for the community to take off, I think
