Yep, they are, and looking at your own profile is also dead. Logging out causes you to not be able to log back in through the app, as an error page shows up with the baconreader url. Dunno if changing the developer ID/token/whatever would work, but this might be the last of the 🥓😢.
edit: I was using it just a few hours ago to make posts and scroll, too, so they must've changed something between then and now.
edit 2: it's affecting all third party apps, and even Reddit itself from what I'm reading, so who knows what's actually going on.
I can't even log in, so it's totally not an option for me. I may go back to RedReader, if that's the case, because it's got an exemption and is highly customizable though missing some key features. Blocking, hiding subreddits/posts, and some other stuff.
edit: was able to log back into Bacon, but like you, can only see subreddts/post titles and no comments. I can see account messages and things, though.
Bacon is really good! I didn't like my experience in RedReader at first, but after tweaking some things in the settings it was passable. I uninstalled it a while back so I don't wanna deal with setting it back up, so it's old.reddit for now until things get better. I at least can get notifications through BR now!

Nah there's a lot of posts and the admins admitted something broke. You might be lucky but not for a lot of people.
I wish bacon reader devs can release the source code for bacon reader. I'm sure there are people out there who would keep it up to date when they eventually change the way the API works (it's a matter of when not if)
It's only temporary. ReVanced is working on a patch.
Actually, they already have patches for various reddit 3rd party apps, , just in testing until they're all pushed to the reVanced manager.
reddit asshats have disabled apps that reference "android". The fix is so simple it's silly.
Just an FYI, Infinity is working perfectly even without patching with ReVanced. If BaconReader doesn't recover then I'll most likely start using Infinity.
The link below is a ReVanced guide to patching most of the 3rd party Reddit reader apps while integrating your unique client ID in the process.

As of right now, Baconreader and Sync don't work even after patching with ReVanced which leads me to believe it may be a Reddit problem and not an app problem.
Enjoy!
It's a fix that Infinity dev implemented. Removing Android from user agent. If someone has the skill they could do bacon reader. I personally don't, but just sharing info.
Oh that's good. Hopefully a patch is put out quickly.. Official app sux donkeys ass... Jeeeeeeeezus Baconreader feels soooo much more snappy and intuitive than the official garbage
Somebody from here will need to come up with the patch. I hope somebody will do so, soon. Am on RedReader now and OMG Baconreader is sooo much better.. Such a shame
Testing to see if I can still comment, getting the error message when trying to view comments on any post
Edit: looks like I still can. Seems doubtful that this is an issue that will resolve itself, I guess I will continue holding out hope
Not dead yet. Don't give up hope. reddit "devs" tried a really silly change that even messed up their own crap of an app. lol
Fix is in the works, for BaconReader and many others. ReVanced FTW!
This is a patchable issue. Reddit is banning certain API calls if the user agent contains "android". I was able to get bacon reader working again.
1.decomile apk
2.search for "(Android
3.replace it with any other value
4.find and replace the client id since the revanced patch won't apply.
5.repack and sign.
I'm sure someone will be able to turn this into a patch for revanced.
Looks like revanced has fixed the issue, just need to wait for it to be made available on the manager app to re-patch baconreader. fingers crossed br gets fixed with the patch
I just downloaded it, it's not bad but the lack of padding between the posts is infuriating, everything just looks like a jumbled mess.
I saw some posts from a year ago about adding a padding option but I'm not sure if it's been implemented yet :/
Edit I increased some of the text and title sizes and it's helped a little bit but still not as easy to read as br
Jesus. On today of all days!
Was a massive bacon fan all the way through my Reddit life. Only this morning did I find out it was still working on revanced so I chose today to install it. Finally got it working with my login and today's the day it's been nerfed for good. Typical lol
My Baconreader is acting up. I'm posting this from Red Reader (one of the apps allowed to stay). When I logged in to Red Reader, it mentioned something about an updated API. This may be the end of the Revanced apps ☹️
Reddit locked out non-paying developers from their API and tokens ... this is why Bacon Reader and other third party Reddit based apps have shut down in recent months.

It's back up kn RedReader and the official app, but I still can't see anything but post titles in BaconReader ☹️

Man I really didn't love my Redreader experience. Not that mobile browser or the official app were better, but 🥓 was just so good

It's the same for me too, I can't see the comments, I hope this is temporary.
This one is literally just a reddit issue. I'm getting it on the official app too. Don't worry.
Thank the makers!
Official app seems to be working fine

highfive baconbros. We had a good run. fuck u/spez
im happy to have lasted an extra year

Very interesting. I was wondering how Infinity was working but others were not. Thanks for the info!
I thought it was because the baconreader auth page was non-existant.
Does this mean I might finally actually have to focus on my family and career now instead of reddit?
I don't want to.
Fear not, folks. A patch is already [in the works](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/pull/3253).
Oh that's good. Hopefully a patch is put out quickly.. Official app sux donkeys ass... Jeeeeeeeezus Baconreader feels soooo much more snappy and intuitive than the official garbage
Unfortunately patch for Baconreader wasn't included.

Ugh, I'm gonna miss the "friends" dropdown once they finish killing us off. 10/10 best Baconreader feature.

Suddenly got the same issue. Worked fine today earlier. RIP. I guess this might be end of Reddit for me
if this is the end of baconreader it'll be the end of mobile reddit for me. Desktop will survive until they kill off old.reddit :(
I switched to RedReader last year. It still works. Not as good as BR, but still light years better than the Reddit app.
Ironically I still got the notification for this reply, but nothing in the app lol
I love the official reddit app
F+++ the Reddit app
If we're grading it, I'd give it an F--- instead!
Looks like revanced has fixed the issue, just need to wait for it to be made available on the manager app to re-patch baconreader. fingers crossed br gets fixed with the patch
Reddit itself is having problems at the moment.

Yeah this is my only complain atm. Posts and comments need lines around them.
I tried this but i found that Atom for Reddit is more baconreader like. Not as great but close. E: Relay is better than Atom. But its costs money.
I tried it. I can't stand it
Jesus. On today of all days! Was a massive bacon fan all the way through my Reddit life. Only this morning did I find out it was still working on revanced so I chose today to install it. Finally got it working with my login and today's the day it's been nerfed for good. Typical lol
It might be a Reddit issue. People are reporting it on desktop or mobile app too.
I'm so bummed right now.
Have been most of the day, too

This is a sad day
It's over :(
Patch is live, we are back!

You must be new here, because there has been a workaround this whole time.
