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.

    Sync has a lot more features. Direct imgur upload from commenting, live comment mode (if Lemmy ever gets big enough for game threads), open communities in new windows are some of my favorites.

      A lot of the functionality isn’t ready yet including submitting posts - but it’s coming. Connect is currently more complete but Sync will get there soon.

        Just tried it and it says "failed to upload image"lol so maybe it’s not running yet. When you hit reply it’s the image icon next to the folder icon

          That one should work. It doesn’t use Imgur though, it uploads to your home instance’s pictrs.

              Hmm looks like it. Works from my lemdro.id account but not from my lemm.ee account.

              Edit: I’ve just checked, lemm.ee returns an error saying the image is too large when using the website as well. I think they’ve set it low to effectively disable image uploading (since it gave the same error with files under 1 MB).

      I think some sports communities could sustain game threads here. The soccer community seems to have mostly stayed on Reddit, but Formula 1 definitely is active enough here for live threads for races.
