I wanted to get into IT (primarily computer networking), but I unfortunately could not deal with the customer service aspect and all the corporate bullshit that came with being in the field. Plus, it's nigh impossible to get a job in the field now, even after getting a certificate and "doing my time" working at a call center (hate that shit.)
Being in a smaller community of friendly like-minded people.
What I dislike:
The constant reminders people post that the world is on fire and that there is not a fucking thing I can do about it. Lemmy (or at least the instance I'm in) does not seem to have any obvious filtering features. I end up needing to take a break sometimes.
Edit: Getting ahead of it before anyone says anything, I think it is important to post about current world events, and I outright encourage it. I simply just don't have the greatest headspace and can only take so much of it.
I've been using Boost for Lemmy. While it is unfortunately only available in the Google Play store, it still has served me pretty well. I had previously used a different version of Boost back when it supported Reddit, but uhhh, we all know how that went. (Fuck Spez)
For a couple years at least, it sucked. It felt lonely in retrospect because most of the other students in the class were nonverbal. Any attempt to socialize with the teachers just lead to them telling me to "mind my own business". The teachers were also just assholes in general.
