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.

Arborist. No real tech background or skills but always been interested in tech trends and issues, so I keep up with those things more than the average person.

Are you subscribed to any arborist/permaculture/gardening communities that you like?

Not really, unfortunately. I added all that seemed relevant but most aren’t really active yet. I was thinking of making a tree focused community but haven’t had time.

Edit: I did end up creating it, see [email protected]

I'll join if you do. I'm really into fruit trees.

I’ll tag you then! I’m traveling today but then on a vacation for a bit so that should give me some time.

For marijuana users unfortunately.

There is a /c/marijuanaenthusiasts for tree lovers, but it's not very active.

Yeah only one post and I never loved the name. Since it’s not necessary on Lemmy I may make my own with a name that makes sense to those who don’t know the history.
