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 it’s a good sign people are sticking around. A lot of people joined mastodon and instantly left because it was too much to figure out how to use. Lemmy is a lot better in its current state than where mastodon was during the first mass migrations.
I also think mastadon was trying to replace Facebook and twitter. A generalized assumption of those users is a lack of technical familiarity. Lemmy is the reddit alternative, and the users there tend to be way more technically proficient, or at least willing to learn.
Also there's less friction to picking an instance. I'm not so worried about losing an anonymous account so I've made several on multiple instances
I've never cared about Twitter so I guess it makes sence that I don't care about mastodon, lemmy on the other hand is a lot of fun
Totally agree joined Lemmy today and it feels just like Reddit with a few extra steps but oh well. Mastodon is it’s own beast to tackle
