[Meta] r/steamdeck_linux will henceforth be restricted. Consider this the canon forum for the community. Also, sort by new; hot and active are broken. (sopuli.xyz)

I used to use Apollo daily. I'm so glad someone suggested that I set up this sublemmy as a backup. Loving lemmy and this community so far.

I restricted the subreddit to allow any guides etc to be available again, but such that no new content can be posted. If Reddit really goes back on their changes, I might public it again, but tbh that's unlikely.

I have been blown away by the amount of people that have already jumped ship, and joined this little community. Honestly had almost forgotten I had set this up. Glad to see you all here!

Edit: just to be clear, I was the mod of r/steamdeck_linux, not the larger r/steamdeck. It was a smaller, but more linux focused, subreddit.

A fair warning, it might be best to try and archive the content and transfer it over to Lemmg instead of leaving the subreddit itself up. Reddit seems to be forcibly reopening communities to stop the blackout, so if one doesn't act soon enough they might be forced out of their own subreddit and lose control.

I would be down for that. Any suggestions as to how I could accomplish this?

[–] shinnoodles 3 points 1 year ago

No, but I saw a few discussions and links mentioned elsewhere. I suggest trying to find someone more informed on the topic, I'm just trying to spread awareness on the craziness Reddit is trying to pull.

Has reddit actually been reopening subs? Seems like r/videos would have been their first target, but that's still private.
