Not much info yet, but I grew up on Digg, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Probably no Fediverse support, but honestly, any Reddit alternative is a win. Really hoping for real API access and third-party apps.

The original Digg was an important site for me personally between 2005-2009, but only in that early era and mostly as a bridge between my Fark and Reddit eras. I honestly can't see it competing with Reddit's established user base or being as no-nonsense and free as Lemmy. I don't think it will gain traction and the AI aspect will turn a lot of people off from it.
