How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (programming.dev)

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.

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.

Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.

I'm a data analyst that's started to do more data science stuff (learning SQL/python) but not sure I would quite class myself as technical yet.
