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 would suspect it is another burst of Reddit users. I've just joined from Reddit because the third party app I used there (RiF) has stopped working this week. I can't have been the only one whose app had zombied along for a month, died and then left me googling for Reddit alternatives.
It was the same for me
I really do wish RIF dev would make a lemmy app version. I absolutely loved that app for over a decade.
Likewise. When RIF died, so did my reddit habit. Lemmy has filled the void nicely, and better every day
yeah I came here because RIF finally stopped working
Boost still works for me (I've created a subreddit to moderate)
you can make sync look A LOT like RIF. Now for Reddit may be good for you but fully switching to lemmy is better
All third party apps went offline AFAIK.
Once relay goes down more will come. I've been holding on using that.
Welcome!
