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.
You know I did actually question myself when I wrote that haha, but I went with it anyway.
I mean the definition could still probably apply though perhaps under the logic that the developer has nothing to do with the development of Lemmy. He is just a third party to it. The lack of a first party doesn't change that Sync is a third party, maybe...
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.
