Baconreader IS reddit as far as I'm concerned. Hello Lemmy.
If you happen to be on Android, I'm using Liftoff to access Lemmy.world https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff&pli=1 and whileit isn't a baconreader replacement, it's been the best way to access Lemmy that I've found so far.
If you guys want a good app and you're on Android, check out Liftoff, currently in early access: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff&pli=1
It's been the best way to use it on mobile that I've found so far. I come from baconreader on Reddit. While it's no replacement it's very functional so far.
The easiest way to explain it is there's a bunch of websites all using the same api, you can see all the communities from all the websites with any of the websites, and you can subscribe to the ones you want. This one is hosted at lemmy.world but you could read and subscribe to it over at lemmy.ml if you wanted to.
If you want world news you can subscribe to any communities from the federation. Or all of them.
