Don't have much more to add, just thought that it's neat. We have officially passed the subscriber count of r/steamdeck_linux.

Amazing, let's all touch decks

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do we decide which deck will open up to accept the other?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Depends how you like docking your deck.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

look how big mine is (512gb)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Let's go federation!

[–] money_loo 14 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kbin deck gang checking in :)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow! Love that the community is moving over.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

it's awesome

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 :)

Steamy Deck ;)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You should. Nothing like the smell of Steam Deck to get you going.

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

Jw...I'm trying to subscribe to the steam deck thru kbin/lemmy but the site sopuli.xyz isn't allowing signup it just freezes...is that the only option for subscribing thru these 2 kbin/lemmy? If anyone knows i appreciate it, I'm a big r/steamdeck viewer ha

[–] scutiger 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I'm doing my part

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cianmor 4 points 1 year ago

Now let's create an ROG Ally community :P

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)
