Welcome to the official Sync for Lemmy community.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
1- No advertising or spam.
All types of advertising and spam are restricted in this community.

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.
11 million comments per day? Am I the only one surprised by that?
That's 5 times more than Reddit in 2015: https://www.quora.com/How-many-comments-are-made-on-reddit-each-day.
Is that 11m including everything on the fediverse, or just Lemmy instances?
Some people seem to be interpreting this to mean 11 million comments per day. I think it means the numbers are updated daily.
The numbers also don't make a lot of sense to me. Front page of lemmy.world says 620,000 (local origin) comments. And Lemmy sequentially numbers the comments for an instance, mixing both local and federated and the recent numbers look like 2,122,067. Lemmy.ml says 253,000 on the front page, and their index key is showing 2,321,959 for a comment made today. I have to imagine that these two servers are subscribed to a lot of stuff (including each other). I'd be surprised if there were more than 4 million unique comments in Lemmy. And there would be some kbin messages in the Lemmy.world index.
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.
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.
Not a sync user but i found infinity for lemmy so i have my old reddit client back too
If only Sync didn't display lemmy.world as the main instance.... .world is barely keeping up lol
Yeah it's a tricky one isn't it. There hopefully will become a better solution for helping people onboard to different servers that suit them but without making too big of a hurdle.
I must admit I joined .world without understanding anything and it was prompted to me so yeah the default choice has a big say. I have donated to server costs though, felt like I should do my part at least!
It's why I am here
I know I've been commenting a lot more w/ sync.
Bro ask the Apollo dev to create Apollo for Lemmy. That'll be a deathblow to reddit.
I just started using lemmy now that sync is available
Sycn launced 4 days ago though...๐คฆ
"Reddit Won"
Context: https://gizmodo.com/reddit-news-blackout-protest-is-finally-over-reddit-won-1850707509
Not really? They won short term. In a couple years most of their content will be reposts and bot comments.
It sounds like they've won, and sure the people in charge might catch a payday, but once the Fediverse gets more user friendly (which is happening at a rapid pace), and more of the long term reddit creators move over here, their platform will die.
They have restricted which apps you can use, they are trying to make it so you can't use the mobile site, they'll eventually kill old.reddit. I guarantee they'll implement some sort of subscription service so you'll have to pay to be apart of a community, etc.
Once the porn creators leave and come here, then reddit will start dying
See, I know what you're saying when you refer to it as a third party app, but this isn't reddit.
Sync is not a third party app because we don't have any real parties to speak of. Sync is equal to Lemmy as any other client! That's the beauty of decentralization!
I made my lemmy and kbin accounts a couple months back, but I never ended up using them. I'm not new to the fediverse, but I only use services that have native mobile apps.
Yesterday I remembered to check if the apps have been released yet, and here I am, first comment!
I never used sync for reddit, but I am using sync for lemmy now, and it's seriously impressive. I feel so nostalgic
I have found myself using Lemmy a lot more in general since Sync. Much better than all of the other apps imo.
