Baconreader IS reddit as far as I'm concerned. Hello Lemmy.

If you happen to be on Android, I'm using Liftoff to access Lemmy.world https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff&pli=1 and while it isn't a baconreader replacement, it's been the best way to access Lemmy that I've found so far.

I'm bouncing between Connect, Jebora and now Liftoff. They all have things I like.

But they aren't baconreader...

I'm a day or so late to the party, but I'm also here to represent team Baconreader.

Welcome fellow fledditor!

[–] ekZepp 3 points 2 years ago

Very fast bug-fixing update too👌👌🤙

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Literally the same boat. I've been using Bacon for years... And now it's gone. Now I've found Liftoff, and so far it's been the best app for this platform so far. Fingers crossed it keeps improving.

If not for BaconReader (the only client that was on iOS and Android when I looked) I would never have been on reddit at all. Right now writing this via wefwef. On my Android phone I am testing Liftoff. I would have been willing to pay for a subscription if reddit hadn‘t behaved like they did.

I stopped using reddit with the blackout and I can‘t say I miss it much. Especially not when my favorite subreddit equivalents are popping up everywhere.

Liftoff is my favorite app so far

Omg thank you! I was searching for this and couldn't find it in the app store. I've been using Jerboa and it's quite good

I just need the slideshow mode from BR as an accessibility feature bevause of limited hand function at times ugh

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

br is the only reason I was on reddit for 10y+. fediverse is a better replacement

You just need to convinve someone to port baconreader to lemmy. Bet its doable

edit: nevermind its not open source

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Someone can fork Jerbora, or make a pull request to add themeing to Jerbora. It'd be possible to mimic the UI of BR.

Hi, fellow BR refugees! I would like to have the a Lemmy app that has a Collapse All button. Any suggestions?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

From my testing (~10 apps) I find liftoff to be my favorite. It has the collapse all feature your looking for

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just wondering what tbe purpose of 'collapse all' is?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I can translate. They want it to collapse all of the comments under each primary comment, not literally all the comments. That way you scan top comments more quickly.

I used Baconreader on my windows phone, and most recently on my Xbox Series X as a random wallpaper app.
