Daily Lemmy comments up from ~7m to ~11m following the launch of Sync? ( lemmy.world )

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.

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

IAmTano ,

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.

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

That’s 5 times more than Reddit in 2015: quora.com/How-many-comments-are-made-on-reddit-ea….

Is that 11m including everything on the fediverse, or just Lemmy instances?

Yeah as I discovered in another comment chain it’s more than reddit had in 2020 even which was ‘only’ 5.5 million daily - the chart unfortunately is rather confusingly labeled and useless and represents total comments and not daily. I can only assume a random bot spike happened or something.

I have found myself using Lemmy a lot more in general since Sync. Much better than all of the other apps imo.

nullPointer ,

the option for comment threads to be collapsed by default is a killer option I don’t know why other apps aren’t doing.

Deca ,

Yup, created my account a month ago but found it a hassle to navigate on mobile, and actively started commenting the moment sync dropped

What’s the best iOS client until someone can talk Christian into fixing Apollo for Lemmy?

jukibom ,

wefwef.app

You can install it as a web app, it’s very similar to Apollo

Unglue1857 ,

Thanks! That one actually worked really well. Not as good as native, but surprisingly good.

I think they have a native version on TestFlight.

Unglue1857 ,

Awesome. Can confirm. Found it in testflight.

It’s actually renamed to Voyager with a new URL vger.app, and also just launched officially on the App Store so no need for TestFlight: apps.apple.com/us/app/…/id6451429762

Throwing in a vote for Bean. It’s the only one on my homescreen.

it’s people arguing about whether or not they use sync

… honestly tho I wouldn’t be surprised, I’m using it a lot more now 🤷‍♂️

minerva ,

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.

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

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.

Speculater ,

Because a lot of us like having a sleek app.

That’s just speculation.

jarfil ,

Objection! Speculating.

I’m here just to say I still use Liftoff. Shall this comment be also counted towards the stats.

Darkwatch00 ,

I must say sync is pretty great. Just bugs me that I can’t yet alter the size of all the text instead of only comments. I am sure the developer will implement these options so I am not fretting.

I was a relay pro user and this is really close to it so I am happy.
