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 surprising. Sync has made Lemmy a near-seamless change for me.
Sync was Reddit for me. So when Reddit decided to end all 3rd party apps, it was also the end of Reddit for me. Now with Sync for Lemmy it feels like I can pick off exactly where I left off and it feels great. Maybe even slightly better, because it feels like more people are interested in the comments you write and more of them interact with you.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
And like someone posted about we’re not constantly policing ourselves with /s because the folks here are adults. On reddit it had gotten so vitriolic I didn’t post often because someone was going to jump you for having a differing opinion or to express their faux outrage that you liked cheese on broccoli or whatever.
I just made an account to reply to this lol. I finally bit the bullet and started using Lemmy a few days ago, the community here is of course much smaller than reddit but I would describe the comments here as being like the 1 in 10 comments on reddit that actually made me want to keep using the site. You don’t see as many one word throw away pun comments here, which I’m not necessarily against but it gets very grating over time.
I just downloaded relay yesterday, I was always a RIF user but using relay in “sure drawer” mode is a pretty similar experience. Everyone here seems very chill and nice
Same except for Apollo on iOS.
Glad to be here. Everything feels less shill-y and spammy. No more 500 of the same shitty comments in every thread
- Username checks out

Same, long time SyncPro user here (10 years), I stopped using reddit in June, I spent all my July on lemmy with PWA, Jerboa, Connect, etc, there was so much problems in the beginning with crash, network errors, etc. it was a jungle, dozens of new instances per day, etc. It is all stable now, I used Jerboa the most. First day Sync for Lemmy was out I installed it, it was like I never left the old site, same layout, colours, functionalities, gesture, etc. Sync for Lemmy is a saviour for sure. I didn’t want the subscribe, I bought the noads version the minute it was out.
