Cool to see. I’m posting from kbin - super neat to see your Steam deck content from here.

And I’m posting from Memmy, a Lemmy iOS app in beta!

Just wait till the apps hit the public stores and that “convenience” bar gets cleared.

Things are looking pretty bright!

its awesome. i love as well finding very confused mastodon users posting. always funny.

10

Nice. Looking forward to all the fresh content and discussion in this community

I'd have been sad if people who seem to love tinkering and the open nature of their decks weren't willing to give the fediverse a try. So to see the community slowly growing is real cool.

I'm happy the community here is growing so I can have people here to talk about steam deck with.

I would like to get something off my chest. I have never sniffed my steam deck. Thank you.

Sniff the air vent softly while playing an intense game. The heat creates a wonderful sweet, sort of electronic savory smell.

It's really lovely. I sniff my Steam Deck air vent probably once or twice a week on average. Some weeks much more if it's cold out.

It feels nice to lightly brush the tip of your nose across the ribs of the went while inhaling too :)

Instead of tip of your nose I recommend the stubbles of your facial hair 10/10.

Try it while you still can. Mine has faded and now I live in permanent sadness

man I feel like I'm missing out. My Steam Deck has no discernible smell.

Have you considered you may have covid? Can you smell other things?

Nothing like a few essential oils to retrain your sense of smell. I recommend lavender, cinammon, lime, mint, and blown integrated circuits.

Maybe Steam Deck users are more prone to leaving reddit or something.

I definitely wouldn't be surprised if there's a notable overlap there. Probably not a stretch to imagine that the technically-minded users would be more in tune with the protest.

One day I'll even get one! Still can't buy them (via official channels) in Australia

Great! That's a great milestone. More people subscribed, more high-quality posts and comments, and more attractive to new subscribers. I believe we're in a good path.

More people also means more responsibility to the mod team. Thank you for your work to keep /c/steamdeck a nice place

thankfully, people have been quite well behaved so far, as far as i can tell. makes my job easier if they are lol.

You can subscribe to and participate in any community regardless of what instance you're a member of.

10

*Assuming your home instance federates with the instance. Which in most cases is default, but not always (see Beehaw for example)

9

You don't need to sign up there since we're all federated with eachother. If you're on the kbin mobile site you just tap the menu button at at the top left next to where it says kbin then scroll down until you see the community name and the subscribe button. If you're on desktop it's on the sidebar. You can also type [email protected] into your search bar and hit subscribe from there.

Fastest growth happens with community of people who have growth mindset.

And gamers + owners of Steam Deck definitely have that! I mean we take apart our deck just to change the look of the thing - something that could be thought of as very risky by others is just another adventure, a new land to be discovered for us.

And especially, the subreddit that was redirected here was the _linux one. Linux users even further are open to new things.

I love to see the growth. It's really refreshing to see how rapidly these communities are growing.

why does the sidebar i am looking at showing '230 subscribers' ? Perhaps that is just on the lemmy instance i am on. (sh.itjust.works)

3

Yeah, I have noticed sub counts don't match up on other instances. On my instance, it shows as over 3k.
