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.
Honestly, I learned that I like how sync presents content to me,and it’s really less about what site it’s for
I’ve been trying to comment more to add to the communities that I’m a part of. On Reddit I was a lurker and never commented because the communities were so large and by the time I got to the post it had already blown up. Now on Lemmy the communities are much smaller and I want to foster some discussion or at least add something to these smaller communities to help them grow. Most posts have less than 10 comments or frequently none so I think it’s important to foster some additional engagement. I’ve completely stopped using Reddit and yeah I do miss it from time to time, but I don’t see myself going back unless significant change takes place.
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.
Yeah as I discovered in another comment chain it’s more than reddit had in 2020 even which was ‘only’ 5.5 million daily - the chart unfortunately is rather confusingly labeled and useless and represents total comments and not daily. I can only assume a random bot spike happened or something.
I have found myself using Lemmy a lot more in general since Sync. Much better than all of the other apps imo.
Yup, created my account a month ago but found it a hassle to navigate on mobile, and actively started commenting the moment sync dropped
