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.

I'm a simp for slick ux...

I'm here after installing Sync. I have used it every day for years with Reddit but I stopped using Reddit completely when it was disconnected from third party apps. It's so familiar it makes Lemmy an easy transition

Some people seem to be interpreting this to mean 11 million comments per day. I think it means the numbers are updated daily.

The numbers also don't make a lot of sense to me. Front page of lemmy.world says 620,000 (local origin) comments. And Lemmy sequentially numbers the comments for an instance, mixing both local and federated and the recent numbers look like 2,122,067. Lemmy.ml says 253,000 on the front page, and their index key is showing 2,321,959 for a comment made today. I have to imagine that these two servers are subscribed to a lot of stuff (including each other). I'd be surprised if there were more than 4 million unique comments in Lemmy. And there would be some kbin messages in the Lemmy.world index.

I'm one of them. Never used lemmy because none of the available apps werent as sleek, stable, and functional as the reddit apps of old. But now sync is a great app so I use Lemmy a lot more.

I know I've been commenting a lot more w/ sync.

Decided to join Lemmy after having issues with the Reddit app and Relay not getting along. Facebook groups as of late have been flaming garbage. Twitter is now an.. X. I'm not touching Reddit again unless Google sends me there. Sync seems to do the job quite well.

I've tried Mastodon before. It just wasn't my cuppa. This is my new public facing social home I think.

To be fair, didn't a few Lemmy and FOSS apps get released during the same week?

Honestly, I learned that I like how sync presents content to me,and it's really less about what site it's for

[โ€“] victron@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

If only Sync didn't display lemmy.world as the main instance.... .world is barely keeping up lol

[โ€“] Yoz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro ask the Apollo dev to create Apollo for Lemmy. That'll be a deathblow to reddit.

[โ€“] olizet@lemmy.works 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not from the Apollo dev, but Voyager is very Apollo'ish.

I just started using lemmy now that sync is available

Mastodon used to be my main social media platform for some time and I have been slowly getting on Lemmy. But I have been using it a lot after the launch of sync.

Sync's a really smooth experience, I'm enjoying it. Hopefully moderator tools will be back soon, that's one of the biggest weaknesses of the Lemmy app space right now.

Not a sync user but i found infinity for lemmy so i have my old reddit client back too

[โ€“] squaresinger@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's not the number of daily comments, it's the total number of comments, by day.

So on day X there were totally Y comments on Lemmy.

The big jump is probably related to some instance adding a bot that copies content e.g. from Reddit.
