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
I do think it could be a nice alternative to reddit for more general discussion that you don’t get here, like comicbooks and blender will prob be better there
But not that much faith, if anyone wants to take over the community here let me know.
