Welcome to the official Sync for Lemmy community.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
1- No advertising or spam.
All types of advertising and spam are restricted in this community.

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.
To be fair, didn't a few Lemmy and FOSS apps get released during the same week?
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 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
It's nice to be able to open a post and then get back to where you were before opening it quickly and easily.
It's why I am here
Doubt it, otherwise day 2 would have a high rate also. I think it may have been a dodgy instance federating.
I'm a simp for slick ux...
I went from 1 comment a week to a few a day, I can't be the only one.
Sync definitely helped with that.
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.
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.
I know I've been commenting a lot more w/ sync.
If only Sync didn't display lemmy.world as the main instance.... .world is barely keeping up lol
Not a sync user but i found infinity for lemmy so i have my old reddit client back too
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'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.
Sycn launced 4 days ago though...๐คฆ

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.
I just started using lemmy now that sync is available
