So it begins [Rule]

I used BaconReader for almost it's entire existence.

I started using it in late 2012.

You will be missed old friend 🫡

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.

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.

That's weird and probably only temporary

My baconreader app is still working too, I've been checking it all morning. I can load posts and comments no issues. I've already deleted my Reddit account so I can't confirm logging in or anything.

I’ve been using wefwef.app, which is a progressive web app you can add to your Home Screen. It feels naive though.

I tried out wefwef and it feels wrong

Jerboa though feels pretty similar to BaconReader IMO and now that Lemmy 0.18.1 is out and instances are updating to it it's working great

My understanding is that it was designed to work like Apollo, but I didn’t use Apollo so 🤷‍♀️

That explains the weird feeling

I tried Apollo back in the day and had the same criticism, it felt weird

Bacon Reader was my go to for the last 10 years. Got genuinely sad when the message popped up for me
