StreetPass in 2023

After promising myself I'd take my 3DS everywhere with me this year, I got my first legitimate StreetPass of the year a few days ago and it felt amazing. Does anyone else still get StreetPass hits? :)

I have only had one StreetPass but I got my 3DS after about a year of the Switch being out. That said that one StreetPass was one of the happiest days of my life.
In my country I couldn't even get a StreetPass when 3DS was still supported so I'm not even trying these days. I find the battery life much longer without wireless connection
Last time I got some hits was at an anime-con, but that was a few years ago. When I eventually get the power button of my New 3DS XL fixed I'm hoping to get more!
When I was taxi driving with a 3ds for a few months a few years back, I never got any. Le sigh. Everyone just on their phones these days.
My last legit one was in Narita airport during a layover. It's been almost a year since then though. I've been bringing my 3ds with me everywhere too.
I haven't tried in over 3 years. I will carry both my 3ds and n3ds on my commute from now on. Hopefully I get some.
- Good luck! And if nothing else, they will streetpass each other every 8 hours :)
  
  Oh I always thought it was only once a day!
After deciding to bring my 3DS with me again because of this thread two days ago I got two people on the first day, today I was not so lucky. I hope this is means more people in my area are still carrying their 3DS. Or I just got extremely lucky. This was in the Netherlands BTW

Edit: Apparently I met one of them before so a big chance of meeting him again. The other one is from Belgium so no chance I'll be meeting him again.
- Oh that's wonderful news! I had a day out all day today, not a single hit, although to be fair it was the middle of the day and I did spend a lot of it inside a Costco. :P
I have been carrying my 2DS on my commute to and from work for the last 2 months. It actually managed to make a StreetPass connection from a car driving by, and another a few days later while I visited the local zoo. It makes me happy to see that there is a push for people to carry around their 3DSs again. If only the Switch had a similar program...
