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.

    I’m using something called connect. I’m not sure why I picked this one but it works quite well. Is sync so much better? The hype around it is so impressive I feel I must be missing something.

      I used it for years on that other site, so when it came out for lemmy it felt like coming home. Not sure how much is just muscle memory and being used to it, but the design and interface are really well done.

      Connect is perfectly fine. I just used sync for a long time and like some particular things about it (e.g., being able to jump from one comment tree to the next reliably and quickly).

      Before Sync I settled on Connect, it’s a really nice app. But Sync is a great app, one of the best implementations of Material I’ve used. And its UI is the result of years of work on the Reddit app, so it’s got a lot more features and is already more polished than the others, despite being in beta.
