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.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Ugh seeing this message last time I opened the app made me so sad. Baconreader was the major way I used reddit for the past what, decade maybe? The devs really knocked it out the park, it was so full-featured and just such a wonderful user experience. I've been hoping they would make a baconreader for Lemmy but I don't think that'll happen. I'm using Jerboa and - no offense to the Jerboa devs because I know this is still an early product! - but it's like downgrading from broadband to the Pony Express.
I'll miss reddit but I have lemmy now. I actually think I'll miss baconreader more!
I was having too many problems with Jerboa, so I installed Connect for Lemmy this morning and have been liking it so far. Might want to give it and others a test run to see what you like best.
Same, except I switched to Liftoff. It's a little hard to find in the Google Play store, but the app itself is great so far!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.
This is a very important point that people seem to gloss over here. The reddit app is crap, but the current Lemmy apps (and software) is very buggy as well. This is to be expected, but it will turn a lot of people off from switching over.
The big difference is how it is expected to evolve. Lemmy and associated apps will only get better over next months and years. Reddit will continue to get worse and the app more bloated.
