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.
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.
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.
Is that new? I'm on beta 26
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.
Maybe it's a lemm.ee issue then? Still not working
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).
Damn lol so I should be on a server that allows larger image sizes... That's annoying lol
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.
