It was amazing but I was young and it was wonderful to discover. I think people have fond memories for it really.

It’s very similar to Lemmy, if not just the same thing done a different way. I think there were only upvotes (I can Digg it).

For young people discovering Lemmy, as it is now, and discovering Linux subreddits etc, they probably get the same enjoyment/attachment etc.

The redesign of Digg downplayed it’s communities and put mainstream media first (as if Kbins magazine tool was restricted to famous newspapers) and thus it immediately felt like the community had been fractured. Reddit was growing with peoples own blogs and it felt way more community oriented. This is where I think and hope Lemmy will also find its own community.
