Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public | TechCrunch

Digg, a reboot of an earlier social news site, is now relaunching as a Reddit competitor focused on communities.

Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

      To add to the other comment, the fucking blocking functionality just works.

      On Lemmy it’s half assed so you can’t completely defed/block:

      • If someone crossposts it to another instance it appears on the feed
      • If you (as a normal user) block an instance you still see the crossposts and their users

      On piefed you have many block options and they just work.

      This is just off the top of my head.

      Grouping comments of the same posts posted on different comms for one.

      Keyword filtering to fade or outright block.

      Idk if filtering is in Lemmy, but grouping comments definitely isn’t.

        I love the grouped comments. I scroll through the comments on once instance, then I reach the next one and you can genuinely see the shift in priorities between communities. It’s pretty cool
