Hello all!

I just joined back onto Lemmy after only sticking to Mastodon for so long. And of course in my search for Steam Deck communities, I saw this one was in place!

Its interesting seeing how many subscribers there are here (though, sadly how few are active members!)

I suppose this is my round about way of offering my help, I think somewhere I still have a copy of my old guides.
At the very least, I wouldn't mind starting up my news posts again.

Mod, reach out if you like. I am very interested in being involved and making this a place to be, in its own right. I'm sure my history on the reddit sub can speak for me - I'm pretty good at that!

Wait, who are you?

I was the mod who brought r/SteamDeckPirates from being around 3K members to 35K during 2024, before I left the sub and Reddit. Flwwhtrbt.

Why did you leave?

It was time, there was one-too-many awful users who dedicates a lot of time to hassling me, and I felt I had done all I needed to do there. More besides, but that's the gist.

How do we know its you?

Reach out to agaric on the reddit sub. He and I are still friends.
Or to me, on my Mastodon. The link to which is in the pinned latest news post on the sub I made last week or so.

Why are you here?

IDK. I can share my guides, if I can find them. I do so enjoy compiling news posts, I'd rather enjoy doing that again. Just offering help I suppose!

And one final note:

I did apply twice to dbzer0 for an account, and was denied twice. Which felt...odd, but whatever. So my account is on Lemmy.world

I'm weirdly unable to comment or submit a post to this community on my PC (this is a me problem, its been years since I was on Lemmy - the 3rd Party Protest era - so my inability to navigate is just me being an idiot), but I am via my app.
So...who knows what's going on there.
I also added what I hope will be considered 'verification' of who I am - on my bio on Mastodon there in the image

Also lovely to see you all!
