How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (self.asklemmy)

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.

If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.

Cinema worker, diorama maker/sometime animator. I jumped ship from Reddit about 2 days before RiF became unusable. Have been progressively finding more (if not identical) interests to pursue in fediverse, and unexpectedly contributing more content than I did on Reddit.

Whoa, wait... diorama maker? Is that a hobby or a side gig? Do you have examples you could share? I'm quite curious as to what adult-made diorama's look like outside of something like DnD.

Just scenes from films and stuff as a hobby. Nuclear test , mario (pen for scale) , [dune](Dune https://imgur.com/gallery/kWqYnUc), firewatch, [Asteroid city](Asteroid City https://imgur.com/gallery/9mAnbIG)

You might like Adam Savage's youtube channel. It's not necessarily "dioramas" per se, but cinematic models and props are pretty similar, right?
