I was assuming that tech background is someone that can work around IT things, such as even building your own PC or setup own Plex. You don't necessarily need to know how to code to be considered a tech person.

But as we can see in the comments, some people don't think they are tech person or tech savvy enough while have some IT / technical knowledge.

Airplanes tech is designed easy to use for the pilot. You wouldn't want to debug an error during a flight mid-air.

Agreed that Lemmy would be attractive to the general mass if we have more of non-tech communities. Do you know any?

Yeah, coding is not for everyone. You can't force it.

That's a diverse career change!

We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!

I think if you can troubleshoot your own built PC, that's pretty much a tech person, even though you can't code.

Sure, we can do that. But it's not a strict rule, anyone can comment too, anywhere.

I think this is due to recent upgrade. Logout from the app and login back fixed for me. Also check if your home instance has upgraded to latest version.

Sometimes you may want to comment on a topic that you subscribed under different account / instance. We can comment on any topic, not just from subscribed communities.

Yeah, love the app. Just sharing an idea that could be helpful to others too.

 

I have seen some users commenting on Lemmy using a Mastodon account. I tried to login Lemmy using my Mastodon account (on the web) and it didn't work, like account not found, maybe it tries to locate the Lemmy instance account.

I have tried to do this on Jerboa, Thunder and Liftoff too and still couldn't work.
