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.

      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!

          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?
