    Once Bacon Reader died, I stopped. It’s sad. I was subbed to a lot of fun and interesting subreddits. But fuck spez, that greedy little pig boy. Lemmy seems like reddit lite for the moment, but I’m sure it will grow.

      Yup same here with RIF gone, fuck that and fuck spez. The sad thing is that Reddit is so old that there’s always little niche subs that have a lot of mileage that are really nice to figure out new stuff. Like I was looking at Add-ons for Kodi in my last days and probably will still have to resort to go there once in a while for stuff like that.

      I am kind of liking it with less people. It’s more like how reddit used to be when I joined. You could have really great conversations with people.

      I barely use Reddit since Bacon Reader has been offline. The official Reddit app is garbage. I’m enjoying using Lemmy with the Connect app, but I wish the Bacon Reader team would create an app for Lemmy.

      Might be confirmation bias, but theres a lot more baconreader representation than usual. I wonder if theres a reason for it, or if its in my head.
