Take a different approach: look for players also playing the same games as you. So find a community for your favorite games, be it on Discord, a website or here on the fediverse. Why would it matter specifically that they are using a steam deck? Steam Deck is treated as a PC if you are specifically worried about cross platform play. Conversely even finding others who also use a steam deck means little to you if they are into completely different games and genres.
There is a steamdeck discord. Also search for games you like to play on discord. Theres likely a community for it and they usually have lfg
Thanks for the tip! I’ll try searching based on game as well.
Just use the Steam community pages. It’s all there
