First of all, I’m new here so please don’t kill me, I hope this is the right place to ask but I get a lot of computer related stuff on my feed even in the “Subscribed” Tab, Is it just because there’s an abundance of technologically inclined people on lemmy or am I doing something wrong?

The fediverse in general tends to attract more tech inclined people, this is due to a few reasons IMO
-
Tech people tend to be more privacy conscious, and so will often tend to prefer something like lemmy to something like Reddit/FB/Twitter/etc
-
Tech people love Open Source Software - the level will vary a lot, but I’ve never met a software engineer who doesn’t have good things to say about FOSS
-
The fediverse is slightly more complicated than traditional social media (not as much as many make it out to be, but inarguably its at least a bit more complicated). So tech-phobes are likely to be scared away, where as people with good technical literacy are more likely to both understand how it works, and see the benefits
