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.

    Lol yeah I agree with Mastodon. I checked it out and it’s like…yep looks like Twitter, and I fucking hate Twitter, just feels like some weird celebrity and brand worship platform. The focus on Lemmy/Reddit at least is the content, and nobody really cares who posted or created it for the most part. Everyone is equal and content speaks for itself, it’s a far nicer concept to me.

        By algo you meant algorithm? If that’s it then you can follow hashtags and you’ll have your feed more interesting for yourself with no algorithm involved.

        I never used Twitter, but I am enjoying Mastodon a lot now that I follow my own stuff :)

          When you follow hashtags you get all random useless tweets about that topic, here in Lemmy the upvote downvote, comment activity based algorithm is much better in filtering spam and junk

            Yes, I am not saying Mastodon is better than Lemmy in that regard, but it is something at least, and you get an idea of what people to follow to boost your feed anyway.

            I have seen some interesting things there that I don’t see on Lemmy, mainly speaking of some not that popular gaming or handhelds, but maybe this is an effect of a higher user base there than here.

          Following hashtags isn’t remotely the same as having a for you algorithm. There’s nothing comparable to it on Mastodon right now. That is the whole point of what I was saying.

            And probably never will, as I said I hardly used Twitter so I guess I never “tuned” my algorithm.
