I've been using bacon reader for 9 years. I keep wanting to feel sad that it's my last day on Reddit* but I really don't. *I'll probably check in sometimes at home as long as I can use old Reddit. But honestly my only time to read it has been during the day during downtime at work. I get home and have much better things to do then sit on Reddit.

Same here, loved BaconReader, (not sire why it's not mentioned that often)
got the message popup yesterday ;-(
But you are right, might be a good moment to detox a bit
Also old Baconreader user. Really hope it comes to Lemmy. But didn't seem like it.
Just a test.
Do you double tap to do a line break?
We'll see if this worked
Apollo really held on for dear life. Worked until sometime this afternoon.
I tried Reddit on the browser but it just doesn’t work like I want it to on my phone. There are many people who don’t know a different version of Reddit than their terrible app and site. It will continue but not with me.
Reddit missed their own deadline for enabling rate limits and now they are weeks away. 🤦♀️
Hi Devs,
Over the last few months, we’ve shared updates on our Data API Terms and Developer Terms. Shortly, we will begin enforcing the previously announced, updated API rate limits. Rate limits will go into effect for all apps with usage above the free limit in the coming weeks, and some changes will be noticeable over the next 24 hours.
As we have shared, this will not impact non-commercial bots operating within free rate limits or moderator tools.
Free API access rates are as follows:
100 queries per minute per OAuth client id if you are using OAuth authentication
10 queries per minute if you are not using OAuth authentication
The vast majority of third-party apps and bots fall into the free usage category and should not see any disruptions. Our free rates account for bursts in usage.
For apps that exceed these limits, we have exempted select clients (for example, accessibility-focused apps like RedReader, Luna, and Dystopia), mod bots, and mod tools. If your bot or tool is affected unexpectedly, please reach out here.

Is there a countdown on when RIF will stop working? Is it based on midnight GMT? EST? PST? CST?
I think I read that it was based on PST, but I don't remember where I saw that and could easily be thinking of something else. Sorry I haven't got anything definite.
I haven't seen a specific time, but today will be the last day :(
Such a great app, I will miss it.
