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.


It’s a shame that the c/steamdeck part can’t be renamed, but it’s also normal to encounter limitations from time to time…
Maybe it’s it’s the first community in need of such a change and it’ll be implemented at one point…
I just checked and the name is what comes up when searching, not the c/ designation. So it probably won’t cause much of an issue.
Yeah but it’s a problem for a guy looking for perfection like me😅
