The news aggregator Digg is back with a new version, aiming to provide a Reddit-like experience for users in the AI era. The site’s founders emphasize human connections amidst the rise of bots and AI agents online. The app features a clean design and offers various feeds for different content views. Users can engage with communities, upvote/downvote posts, and leave comments. Digg also integrates AI for article summarization, with plans for further AI tools in the future. The app includes user profiles, leaderboards, and gamification elements. Digg is learning from past mistakes and addressing issues like biased leaderboards. While the new app shows promise, it’s still unclear what will attract users to switch from Reddit. Future plans involve AI assistance in community design.
