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

Not really? They won short term. In a couple years most of their content will be reposts and bot comments.
It sounds like they've won, and sure the people in charge might catch a payday, but once the Fediverse gets more user friendly (which is happening at a rapid pace), and more of the long term reddit creators move over here, their platform will die.
They have restricted which apps you can use, they are trying to make it so you can't use the mobile site, they'll eventually kill old.reddit. I guarantee they'll implement some sort of subscription service so you'll have to pay to be apart of a community, etc.
Once the porn creators leave and come here, then reddit will start dying
Reddit probably thinks it won. They killed all the apps and now they will increasingly force feed monetisation down the necks of the userbase until everyone decides to leave just like they left Facebook.
Which is their goal too probably that's how IPOs go, and how corporations handle tech companies, buy it milk it and let it die. Nobody cares about long term It's all about profit this quarter then ditch the shares to the next sucker.
Reddit will go the same way as Facebook. Never die, but it will be like visiting a retirement village.
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've definitely commented more since the launch of sync than in the whole month before. But it's not just that, also the quality of content here has improved over time, and it coincided with the launch that there was seemingly more to talk about.
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.
Iβm contributing
Same bro, here's a useless Kbin upvote that most peple can't even see.
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.
Wonder when Apollo is going live, that should be another significant bump.
I donβt think itβs sync, I remember seeing this jump a few days before sync launched. Seems like itβs something else. I would bet itβs bots, but there is no evidence for this Iβm aware of.
