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 think a couple apps restarted on Lemmy around the same time Sync came out. I know boost showed up, and I've seen a bunch of newly released app announcement threads in the last week.
Probably a combination of new and better apps. I know I basically just lurked until sync came out. It just feels familiar, and all the features I want are just here. The only thing I think I want, is to see how many down votes are on posts, but it's literally the only thing I can think of.
