Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.
Impressive! Honestly I can totally understand this growth myself because it mirrors very well my own interactions here. When third party apps died I came here, tried a bunch of apps, made a bunch of comments and then didn't really stick around because I couldn't find a good enough app I liked.
Then when Sync released I have barely touched reddit and been 95% on Lemmy again.
I am still very impressed if Sync alone is responsible for 4 million additional comments per day though. That is rather staggering if it's true.
