A few observations
- interface is cleaner than Reddit (some people will probably complain about the space wasted, even in “compact” mode, but most users should be fine)
- there is only a handful of communities existing at the moment, and no option to create more. See picture for the list.
- feature-wise, it looks very similar to Reddit/Lemmy/Piefed: upvotes/downvotes, comments, sort types
Based on what happened with Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, we can probably imagine that Digg might be a new actor that quite a few people will join, when the people the most aware of enshittification of corporate platforms will stay on Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
Random thought: maybe a “lifestyle” community could be a way to encompass a few communities that struggle to stay active
Like Camino de Santiago just looped around
I remember the day everyone left digg for reddit but for the life of me I can’t remember what they were so mad about
Something about a code I think
