I have been with you from your creation now to your grave. You were never really the most popular Reddit app, but you were my Reddit app. I will miss you.
BaconReader was my first Reddit app on Android all the way before there was even an official app. I remember one time the developer sent me some BaconReader stickers in the mail.
Same! Now using Relay, but I still remember BaconReader. I wonder if kids nowadays even know the connection between bacon, reddit and narwhals.
Just logged into my new Lemmy, after also being in the sweet sweet frying pan of 🥓 To see this as basically the first post on my new news feed does feel good to be honest. I hope the migration goes well for us all!
I tried almost all of the Reddit apps over the years but ended up with BR as I found it was the most polished. Thank you to the devs who put so much effort in, sorry to see it go.
So many Reddit apps I’ve never even tried, and yet I feel sad seeing these kinds of posts.
I feel sad seeing all of these goodbye posts from these developers that have put so much work into these apps only to have Reddit just spit in their face and not even be willing to negotiate any type of agreement
Are any app developers other than Sync moving to Lemmy? I like that that one will be more of a new beginning than an end.
I really hope so. I haven’t heard of any other than sync. I know the Apollo dev is taking a break and doesn’t have any plans of developing an app right now but I do hope that changes. I can say though that the developers that are making apps for Lemmy right now are very impressive.
Check out https://wefwef.app, it’s an apollo-like web client for Lemmy that you can log in to and use like an app. Your browser should let you install it on your phone like an app (normally you click the menu icon and find the “Install” option but it depends on your browser.
Is it? Last thing I heard is that they were switching it to subscription only in an effort to try and afford to continue.
