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.

    it’s people arguing about whether or not they use sync

    … honestly tho I wouldn’t be surprised, I’m using it a lot more now 🤷‍♂️

      It wasn’t because of Sync. The increase happened before Sync for Lemmy was even available. Notice how it jumped up and then didn’t rise again? Probably a dodgy instance federated.

      I think it’s a good sign people are sticking around. A lot of people joined mastodon and instantly left because it was too much to figure out how to use. Lemmy is a lot better in its current state than where mastodon was during the first mass migrations.

        I also think mastadon was trying to replace Facebook and twitter. A generalized assumption of those users is a lack of technical familiarity. Lemmy is the reddit alternative, and the users there tend to be way more technically proficient, or at least willing to learn.

    Lemmy has become my main social media app already. Mastodon is painful to use for me. I just don’t like the Twitter format, and the lack of algo is unbearable.
