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.

    Figured I’d sign up to preserve my username just in case, but it doesn’t work without an app. Oh well.

    These sites are supposed to be gateways to the internet. Why the fuck would you put that in any app other than a browser?

      You can sign up for an account now on browser. You can only log in with an email. They send you a confirmation code to your email that you have to put in, in order to log in. Once you do this, you can create your username (which is tied to an email). This is probably to stop people from using throwaway accounts to log in.

      So far I like Lemmy more but I’ll scope it out to see what happens next.

        I tried switching to desktop mode on my phone and it switched back to mobile during the last step and gave me a 404 error. I don’t use a PC.

        So oh well.
