Trying to learn how to be more tech savy but need help. (lemm.ee)

Not sure if I'm even posting correctly but here goes. I'm pretty new to Lemmy, the whole reddit thing has just lead to me to deleting my old account and exploring new places. So far I like Lemmy and have learned how to subscribe and maneuver my way around instances and such. Also downloaded the ios beta app which I have enjoyed and has help fill in my need to read topics anytime I get a chance to sit and relax.

I feel like I need to be more tech savy though. I get the impression that these communities are filled with more linux users than windows like me. In my mind I just picture people with thick glasses who understand coding and are geniuses basically. Joking ^_^

My question is which sites can I go to for tutorials and just learning the lingo (didn't know Instances meant servers for example) Anything linked to fediverse I have to begin to be familiar with. Thanks in advance.

I think the best starting point is asking "what do I want yo do with technology."

It is a vast subject and no one knows all of it.

If all you want to do is read the news and comment on cat pictures, that's fine.

If you want to learn how to make your own music, or write your own website, or edit photos of your cats - then that is where you should start.

What do you think would be a good, small starter project for you?
