I'm a CPA and not highly skilled in computer stuff. The fact that I managed to join Lemmy, set up Jerboa and actually participate means that almost anyone can do it
I'm a student, gonna start (undergrad) medical school this summer.
University student. Doing business. Not that tech savvy. I will learn some programing languages because finding a job(a good one) gets harder and harder every year.
I'm technical in a broad sense but not in the tech industry. I'm a production engineer putting in production lines for the auto industry.
Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.
I'm in marketing haha, I joke that I'm my parent's IT person, but that's just about as technical as I get
Does payroll count as technical? I suppose maybe within our payroll system (Workday), but that's peanuts compared to like actual tech jobs.
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.

Then you don't know enough code.
And making a new account for each instance?
That's not necessary, you can join any community on any instance, for example one on my instance, !wwdits@lemmings.world - you might notice it's on the lemmings.world instance and even though you're on lemmy.world, you should be able to click the link and see the posts / subscribe / write comments / posts.

If you like it here, it's exactly where you should be!
I do music, photography/videography, strength training, student too, but it started by being into tech (still am), it's helped for doing music/photography greatly.
Tech background, but never worked with it.
I'm a plumber now, used to design trusses for houses.
I'm a programmer but I don't think there is a high bar of entry here, maybe with so many options to choose from maybe
Non-tech career but have always been a tech enthusiast.
