Keep at it! I suspect these first few days will be the hardest. I uninstalled BaconReader last night and put "Connect for Lemmy" in its place on my home screen. So far it's been a pretty easy transition!
Can confirm it gets easier. It definitely helps to have an app replacement so you can follow your normal reading, commenting, and posting routines. I jumped a while back and had to resist the urge to go back out of habit, but now I don't even miss it.
Is it bad I feel the above feels like some 12 step program testimonial?
BaconReader will never be able to be replaced. I'm bouncing between Jerboa and wefwef for now, until I find a suitable BR replacement
Liftoff dark mode feels the most like my beloved baconreader.
I'll have to check it out.
Same here brother. I love that Jerboa is open source and available on F-Droid, but it acts up sometimes and only supports servers >= 0.18.0, so I've been bouncing until some more of the instances that I'm on catch up.
What drew you to BaconReader? I was a user by circumstance, really. The only real options back on the day were BR and RIF (I think Alien Blue was a thing at that time, but we all know how that turned out) and I just happened to go with BR and never switched.
I shouldn't say that. I did give Sync a shot for the last couple months before the apocalypse, and it was pretty snazzy once I got used to it. Excited to see how their Lemmy app turns out!
It was so long ago. I remember trying a few of them, and just really liked the simplicity and functionality of BR. They never tried to be more than they were.
