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.
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.
No, all it would do is fracture the existing community, with some leaving for the new and some staying here unaware. Until there is an official migration tool in Lemmy itself this is the only way to retain the community that was built
