I'm a southmerican engineering student, 19.
In my 40s, do software development for a living.

I'm imagine people in tech are inherently over-represented on niche social platforms. Although, I do find that lemmy tends to have a political aspect to it as well that makes it attractive to people who might not care about stuff like open source.
56, in Alabama. Pharmacist. Use Pop!_OS on a System76 Darter Pro. I've never used Reddit but I'm a regular on Mastodon and Pixelfed. Also use X. No other social media.
I'm on Lemmy and I'm also hyperopic. Therefore, Lemmy is a community with at least one hyperopic.
I don't want to post a small bio of myself for privacy purposes but you could read through my post history to learn some things about me.
Gen Z weeb from FL living in CA for a couple years now, almost went the IT route and finished trade school but ended up just working a part time service job to have more free time at the cost of being poorer lol
relatable haha
I'm a 30 foot tall lumberjack from Antarctica
Engineering student in Sweden.
Late 30s woman in Australia. Work in tech adjacent field. Progressive leftie.
Used Reddit for news, memes and funnies. Here for the same. Sometimes get involved in discussion but more often than not get too angry and have to put the phone down. Feel like you can have better discussions here than the old place, but I've noticed an uptick in right wing nut jobs and incels.
Absence of low effort 'this' and copypastas style responses is great. But I'm seeing a bit of that coming over too.
I'm a 22 year old software engineering student from Denmark. I used reddit a little before Lemmy but haven't been there since.
