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.

    Very rarely is superior tech remotely a factor in how good a product is or how well it’s received.

      I think all of these platfroms live from the engagement of the users there. I like Lemmy, but I’m also still on Reddit, because in some communities, there’s just so much more activity on Reddit than in the same community here.

      Technology, UI and everything is fine and important. But if the place seems rather dead it will also struggle to attract new users.

        This, I follow a single Reddit sub on RSS because it just doesn’t exist on Lemmy 🤷 And in general, communities for many niche topics or smaller countries are nonexistent. But the conversations are much better here, so I hang out more on Lemmy nowadays :)
