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

How much comments does reddit have a day?
Good question. Best I could find is this:
https://backlinko.com/reddit-users#how-many-comments-are-published-on-reddit
Which says Reddit comments in 2020 were 2 billion (I think that's net for the year not total all time at the end of that year at least?)
So thats ~5.5 million per day
Very safe to say Lemmy is not getting double that lol so these charts are misleading/confusing.
Hmmm yeah that doesn't make sense but I'm too lazy to research into it cause I just woke up and have to marinate some chicken
Consensus seems to be the lemmy chart is actually total cumulative comments, but I can't really work out where millions of comments would come from in a matter of days. Maybe some weird bot spam on some random instance that is being counted when it probably shouldn't.
Enjoy the chicken!
Thanks!
federation with other previously unfederated instances full of comments. just a guess.
The chart is for 'all servers' already supposedly rather than from the perspective of a single instance though so would that be possible? Or can an instance exist sort of privately and then become visible causing a spike?
