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.

How can you tell? I can imagine that sync would have actually done much of this
I am a very active commenter on reddit, and right now, sync for lemmy hust feels like reddit because it’s pretty much the same. I couldn’t really tell you, but it would make sense that many people now have a design they were accustomed to before.
But if this increase was mostly from sync, that would mean that an average sync user would have had to comment 100-200 comments every day since then, because it has just 10k downloads on google play, which probably is the major source for most of those, so you might be right

You sure? The graph says per day, and there are parts where it decreases. I would expect a total to always increase, unless there are comment purges going on.

It is possible that a significant amount is spam or something else, but I do find myself using Lemmy much more now that Sync is available.
