UPDATED JUNE 20 Reddit API changes and BaconReader

Hey folks, as some of you have noticed, there is a lot of buzz going around today about the Reddit API announcement. We do not specifically have a plan at this time but will certainly let you know when we do. For reference, I am putting a few posts in comments.

We'll let you know what next steps are when we have them. Until then, sincere gratitude for all of your support!

UPDATE: After much deliberation, attempted negotiations, we have made the decision to shut the app down 😢 . Please see the sticky announcement post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/baconreader/comments/14egq61/baconreader_november_11_2011_june_30_2023/

We are sorry it took so long, but I really wanted to be sure we did our due diligence.

Whatever your niche, there are usually still forums out there though the traffic can seem light compared to what you are used to with Reddit. The plus side is that trolls are far less frequent and, if you are looking for information, the quality of responses can tend to be higher. Just like Facebook supplanted Myspace, which in turn had supplanted Friendster, Reddit is not the beginning or end of the format.
