[Meta] r/steamdeck_linux will henceforth be restricted. Consider this the canon forum for the community. Also, sort by new; hot and active are broken. (sopuli.xyz)

I used to use Apollo daily. I'm so glad someone suggested that I set up this sublemmy as a backup. Loving lemmy and this community so far.

I restricted the subreddit to allow any guides etc to be available again, but such that no new content can be posted. If Reddit really goes back on their changes, I might public it again, but tbh that's unlikely.

I have been blown away by the amount of people that have already jumped ship, and joined this little community. Honestly had almost forgotten I had set this up. Glad to see you all here!

Edit: just to be clear, I was the mod of r/steamdeck_linux, not the larger r/steamdeck. It was a smaller, but more linux focused, subreddit.

This is one of the few communities I use lemmy for so far, the others are dying and I don't have time yet to post more on my own

I want to point out that Lemmy is actually super active right now, but unfortunately there is a bug in 0.17.4 that stops front pages from updating shortly after the server is restarted, thus resulting in "hot" showing very old posts for example.

I have fixed this issue on https://lemm.ee already, you can check our front page to see fresh posts. The fix will soon land in the main Lemmy codebase as well so other instances can take advantage, you can track the issue here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076

I have also advised other instance admins that regularly restarting their Lemmy server will work as a band-aid workaround until the proper fix is released, so some admins have already implemented this in order to get their post rankings working again (but unfortunately for you, it seems sopuli.xyz has not done this workaround yet).

It seems i chose my server... wisely

Edit: how can i donate to lemm.ee, i guess i should throw in my buck o' five.

Much appreciated! There are two options: either GitHub sponsorships or Ko-Fi.
