Would have been a perfect opportunity to change this to Retro Handhelds or Retro Handheld+Gaming. And give SBC back to its original purpose.
Also, was this ridiculously hard to make an account for for anyone else?

I named it like that so it’s easier for people from Reddit to find it. I prefer Retro Handhelds too, but people would not find it.
When the first of july exodus will have passed, I can make a vote to decide if we rename it or not (and also if we change the logo)
As someone completely new to handheld retro gaming and searching for “retro” communities I only managed to find this one on accident. Even as I type this I have no idea what “SBC” stands for. Had the About page not explained things I would have continued right past this. My 2 cents from someone discovering this scene post reddit exodus.
It’s been difficult to make accounts on other instances. I think there are issues with bots slamming the account creation pages.
Idk, I was able to find this community by searching for SBCGaming. I think the name is fine for now.
Definitely some growing pains. The bandwidth attributed was not ready for the surge of people jumping ship in less than a week. It’s already much better. On the first days, just loading the landing page would take a handful of tries (each try also adding traffic and snowballing the issue)
