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.
Not a sync user but i found infinity for lemmy so i have my old reddit client back too
That's not the number of daily comments, it's the total number of comments, by day.
So on day X there were totally Y comments on Lemmy.
The big jump is probably related to some instance adding a bot that copies content e.g. from Reddit.
I just started using lemmy now that sync is available
I either crashed or error editing out using any of the existing Lemmy apps for me personally. Sync has a better sorting algorithm too.
Also the infinite scroll never worked on them.
I was using Jerboa before and was unable to comment. So yeah Sync.
Yeah, I never had good luck with jerboa... it worked sometimes, but I was mostly using liftoff (which is pretty good, in my opinion).
Same here. I could log in, but I couldn't switch away from the anonymous user. I wrote out a few detailed comments and found that they couldn't be sent, tracking down the thread on the browser version to paste the comment I wrote in was a terrible UX, so I stopped bothering.
I was using Thunder, but I'm def more active now that I'm on Sync
Thunder was great, but..... I'm just to used to Sync, it has a head start ๐ฌ
I have found myself using Lemmy a lot more in general since Sync. Much better than all of the other apps imo.
11 million comments per day? Am I the only one surprised by that?
That's 5 times more than Reddit in 2015: https://www.quora.com/How-many-comments-are-made-on-reddit-each-day.
Is that 11m including everything on the fediverse, or just Lemmy instances?
I'm one of them. Never used lemmy because none of the available apps were as sleek, stable, and functional as the reddit apps of old. But now sync is a great app so I use Lemmy a lot more.
Some people seem to be interpreting this to mean 11 million comments per day. I think it means the numbers are updated daily.
The numbers also don't make a lot of sense to me. Front page of lemmy.world says 620,000 (local origin) comments. And Lemmy sequentially numbers the comments for an instance, mixing both local and federated and the recent numbers look like 2,122,067. Lemmy.ml says 253,000 on the front page, and their index key is showing 2,321,959 for a comment made today. I have to imagine that these two servers are subscribed to a lot of stuff (including each other). I'd be surprised if there were more than 4 million unique comments in Lemmy. And there would be some kbin messages in the Lemmy.world index.
Sycn launced 4 days ago though...๐คฆ
It's why I am here
"Reddit Won"
Context: https://gizmodo.com/reddit-news-blackout-protest-is-finally-over-reddit-won-1850707509
Reddit probably thinks it won. They killed all the apps and now they will increasingly force feed monetisation down the necks of the userbase until everyone decides to leave just like they left Facebook.
Which is their goal too probably that's how IPOs and corporations handle tech companies, buy it milk it and let it die. Nobody cares about long term It's all about profit this quarter then ditch the shares to the next sucker.
Reddit will go the same way as Facebook. Never die, but it will be like visiting a retirement village.
I must say sync is pretty great. Just bugs me that I can't yet alter the size of all the text instead of only comments. I am sure the developer will implement these options so I am not fretting.
I was a relay pro user and this is really close to it so I am happy.
To be fair, didn't a few Lemmy and FOSS apps get released during the same week?
Yup, created my account a month ago but found it a hassle to navigate on mobile, and actively started commenting the moment sync dropped
