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.
Never enjoyed the twitter style. But following hashtags and not people, made the content much more interesting atleast.
From the website (not the app) search a hashtag, select it and click follow.
Use Moshidon or Megalodon. It adds those features that already exist on the website. Why the Mastodon app doesn't have it is beyond me.
