How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?

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.

I am a ux designer and design in a tech company so I am around tech and development often. I also can do the bare minimum of coding as a hobby and enjoying tech topics.

It would be nice if lemmy had more non-tech communities as well though, but they are growing in number. I haven't used other social media besides Reddit or lemmy for years now and have no interest in any other.

Agreed that Lemmy would be attractive to the general mass if we have more of non-tech communities. Do you know any?

I like having many that are not even close to news related and maybe not tech (because that is often a news articles) because I just need a break from that sometimes. I like having art, travel, books, diy/crafting, and world building type subs/instances to follow. I found some after one by one going through my Reddit subs and searching for suitable (active) replacements. I used some tool that someone made that searches all instances for anything related to your search term. I can find specifics if anyone is interested.
