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.
Mastodon has 2M active users and has been steady for quite a while now. Fediverse is growing, maturing. Also Lemmy is trying to compete with Reddit, and Mastodon is trying to compete wuth Twitter. Lemmy and Mastodon are not actually competing with each other.
An interesting tidbit: apparently there’s meshing between the two fediverse projects, given that they use the same platform. It’s a bit buggy though, and while you can ping people and they can comment here, it doesn’t really work the same way on the other side.
At least there’s a remindme bot via mastodon.

What are you referring to exactly? Sounds a bit like kbin but I get the sense that’s not what you’re talking about.
Mastodon users can also create posts on Lemmy communities by tagging the community itself with an @.
