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.

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.

It's nice to be able to open a post and then get back to where you were before opening it quickly and easily.

[-] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

Doubt it, otherwise day 2 would have a high rate also. I think it may have been a dodgy instance federating.

It's why I am here

[-] doggle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I'm a simp for slick ux...

[-] sveltetsunami@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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

[-] yoshipunk123456@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

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

[-] sim642@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

11 million comments per day? Am I the only one surprised by that?

That's 5 times more than Reddit in 2015: https://www.quora.com/How-many-comments-are-made-on-reddit-each-day.

I went from 1 comment a week to a few a day, I can't be the only one.

Sync definitely helped with that.

I either crashed or error editing out using any of the existing Lemmy apps for me personally. Sync has a better sorting algorithm too.

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

[-] LemmyWinks666@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] IAmTano@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I've been trying to comment more to add to the communities that I'm a part of. On Reddit I was a lurker and never commented because the communities were so large and by the time I got to the post it had already blown up. Now on Lemmy the communities are much smaller and I want to foster some discussion or at least add something to these smaller communities to help them grow. Most posts have less than 10 comments or frequently none so I think it's important to foster some additional engagement. I've completely stopped using Reddit and yeah I do miss it from time to time, but I don't see myself going back unless significant change takes place.

[-] victron@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

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

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.

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

[-] olizet@lemmy.works 10 points 1 year ago

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

I just started using lemmy now that sync is available

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 10 points 1 year ago

Sycn launced 4 days ago though...🤦

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.
