I've noticed that technology discussion is more commonplace on Lemmy than I remember from Reddit.

In what other ways might our demographics be different than Reddit and from other sites?

I'd expect Lemmy to be a little older on average since a big chunk of the userbase is made up of people that had used reddit since the early days and want to recapture that, that demography also tended to be even more dominantly male, techy and political than the average redditor
