The community name has been changed, but the c/steamdeck part cannot be changed without creating a new community.
In the previous discussion on whether to include Steam Machine/Steam Frame/Steam OS, the majority of the responses wanted to include the new hardware, at least for the time being.
Part of this decision is that, right now, the fediverse isn’t really large enough to support multiple hardware-specific Steam OS communities. However, if the community grows or it becomes apparent that the communities need to be separated, we can do that at a later time.
As always, feedback is encouraged and welcome.
Oh neat. I feel like it’s going to be a good choice as long as people remember to use flairs.

Lemmy doesn’t have flairs.
I’m so hyped for the frame.
the newly announced steam machine
Ah! I see Gabe Newell has finally perfected the combustion engine! Brilliant work from a brilliant fellow
“Steam Stuff” might have been better. That why not limiting the subject to hardware. I have a feeling that SteamOS is going to become a big talking point soon. Would be a shame to separate the conversations.
I keep seeing the same name (Voyager for iPad) is there anything I need to do, or am I just fine?
Unfortunately it depends on the app and where you view it. The app I use (Thunder) shows Steam Hardware at the top of the community and in the community list, but shows “steamdeck” in small texts under posts still.
Maybe it needs some more time to propagate. As long as I don’t need to do anything on my side is ok :)
Good stuff. The Frame is going to be pretty major in another tangential way. Right now the best mobile SoC to emulate PC games on Android is the 8 Gen 3. Comparing what ragtag teams in the open source world do with Proton/Fex/box64 in the Android world compared to Valve with the same tech but with full time employees in the primary linux world will be a great comparison for what can conceivably be done with our mobile phones
That 100% makes sense!
I think a migration to a properly provisioned community is a better idea. It seems Voyager and other clients don’t display whatever you supposedly changed by default. (I know, the display name).
Changing the display name isn’t enough. And I don’t think “the community is too small” is a good excuse to mangle this one.
Yes, the frame is the one most likely to not fit. If it’s an issue we’ll deal with it then.
