I used BaconReader for almost it's entire existence.

I started using it in late 2012.

You will be missed old friend ๐Ÿซก

If anyone knows any Lemmy apps that are like BaconReader hit me up

I'm an Apollo user, but still. It's a sad night. Why am I so sad?

Maybe it's because I'm so lonely, and Reddit provided a bright little spark to fill the darkness. And it did that for like 16 years for me. And now it's gone.

RIP.

I feel you on that

It reminds me of the feeling of being pushed out of a community, it's not just like that but it reminds of that

We were strangers in the night drifting aimlessly, but drifting together.

Our line was threatened to be cut

We pleaded and screamed, only for our cries to fall on deaf ears

We've been left to the wayside, unable to drift with the currents we're used to

After some time we've found ourselves here

A new and unfamiliar place, with all new currents

It feels like our old currents, at times, but it decidedly different

Things flow slower here, the faces are all new.

We can make this our new current if we try.

That was lovely. I will do my best, friend.

Just dipping a toe into Lemmy right now. I'm using Connect for Lemmy on android, and it seems a pretty good model client so far. Some similarities with Baconreader, but not a direct lift.

69th up vote and my first comment here. I'm okay with this.

Closest thing I've found to an app that resembles the old third-party reddit apps is Summit. It's more stable than Jerboa, that's for sure.
