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 keep seeing the same name (Voyager for iPad) is there anything I need to do, or am I just fine?

      Looks like Voyager does not support it, and the developer is not eager to add the functionality. This is their most recent comment on the issue, commented an entire year ago:

      My official stance on display_name is negative, specifically due to impersonation and UX concerns (you can see my full thoughts here: https://vger.social/comment/4447844)

      While I won’t support showing display_name by default, I would consider showing a future flair by default.

      I would also support adding a setting to show display_name if it was off by default.

        I’m not an expert on the whole Fediverse thing. I use Voyager on iPad since it is a clone of Apollo that I used back with Reddit, and I use Boost on my phone since I too used Boost for Reddit. I’m a simple man :)

        In Boost it shows as Seam hardware and in Voyager as Steam deck. It’s fine with me since I know what’s going on. May it be a deal for someone that doesn’t know? I don’t think so, but who knows.

      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.
