What is your profession? I'm curious if, like Lemmy in general, most users come from a CS background. To avoid identifying information, feel free to be vague.

I am in STEM, but not CS!

I'm from CS too. I wonder if it's because Lemmy requires more effort to use (actively trying it out instead of using more mainstream social media, dealing with the quirks, etc.)
