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 don't trust it. Mostly because it's under control of Kevin Rose (OG Digg co-founder) and Alexis Ohanian (OG reddit co-founder), both of whom sold out of their original companies. Fair enough, it at least means they have some idea of what they're doing (at least for 2005), but it also means they're going to sell out again sometime. I'm tired finding "new home"s, tired of settling in and getting used to new interfaces, lingo and ways things happen, tired of chasing down new communities, identifying good and bad actors, and establishing ban and follow lists. I'm old and I'm grumpy and I'm tired of this shit.
