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 on lemmy significantly more since the sync launch. Both jerboa and liftoff were pretty half baked in comparison… Really hoping more people from Reddit will join

      Same boat as you, used to encounter multiple bugs and crashes with Jerboa… Since switching to Sync I haven’t encountered a single crash.

      I really like how it auto translates links to comments on other instances and has lots of other small QoL features that show the dev really cares about the app.

      Other users who are just choosing apps by how the UI looks and Lemmy’s stock features have missed a lot of the things that make Sync stand out 🤷‍♂️ I’ve customised mine to resemble Infinity (the app I used for reddit) and I’m pretty damn satisfied rn with the gestures, performance and much longer battery life when browsing.
