What is your profession? I'm curious if, like Lemmy in general, most users come from a CS background. To avoid identifying information, feel free to be vague.

I am in STEM, but not CS!

Disa's profession is disabled/being cute.

My profession is "healthcare"

That sounds like a very reasonable combo for a couple!

I love reading! Have you read the most recent work by Mark Lawrence "The book that wouldn't burn"? Magic libraries!

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago

I'm from CS too. I wonder if it's because Lemmy requires more effort to use (actively trying it out instead of using more mainstream social media, dealing with the quirks, etc.)
