The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.

Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.

These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.

What is this? Honestly I don't understand the "repost" thing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[email protected] reposts /r/steamdeck reddit posts to itself automatically (as do all @lemmit.online communities). You're not really meant to engage with these posts directly, and it works better for images/news syndication than for actual community discussion.

Ahh ok, gotcha. Thank you for the explanation.

As I understand it, lemmit.online is an instance set up to mirror content from reddit. It automatically copies the titles and content from communities on reddit so you can view them on Lemmy.

What’s being linked to here is the Lemmy clone of /r/steamdeck

That's cool. It it gonna still work with the API changes?

[–] EK13 2 points 2 years ago

Yep! According to their FAQs, it doesn’t require API access to work. (Source)
