@FediWouter@mastodon.world @joynewacc@mastodon.social btw even though I acknowledge that the Fediverse has a bit of tech over-representation (what else to expect from a place made of people who wrote their own protocol and run their own servers? ) there’s actually a lot of diversity and non-tech folks too. It’s just that they aren’t very easy to find because the chronic discoverability issues of the Fediverse (even though some would call them design choices rather than issues).

Some places to discover accounts by interests:

https://fedi.directory/

https://fediverse.info/explore/people/

And of course follow @FediTips@social.growyourown.services and @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services

Plus following hashtags is a great plus here, so you can easily receive posts about a given topic even from people that you don’t know/follow.

@FediWouter@mastodon.world @joynewacc@mastodon.social I like the spirit!

“Let’s make an app for non-programmers that doesn’t allow techies in!”

“Oh crap, now we actually need a programmer for that”

But now vibe coding seems to be a thing so you could still give it a try

My wife tried to make her own app with AI in these weeks, she started with “of course I can do that without engineering support if I have AI!” (even though she’s an engineer herself, although not a programmer)

She ended up calling me every 10 minutes because things weren’t working and she didn’t know how to fix them
