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.
On my side (writing from Sync) I was using Native A and basically using the web version of Lemmy, and when I clicked on a post it meant going all the way up and losing where I was in my feed, so I stop responding for a long time
Also, whenever I clicked on a post from the browser there was about 50/50 chance the comments would even load in the first place. Since Sync was released, it's like I'm back home on Reddit. The browser works perfectly. I can hide posts I've already read. I can open the comments. I can leave comments.
People might not like Sync because it's not FOSS or whatever but I don't care. I barely even notice the adds and don't give a shit about Google getting some of my analytics. I just wanna browse and forget my shitty existence.
