The new Digg app is essential, but it is a great start

Digg returns. With the support of people such as the founder of Digg Kevin Rose and Reddit Cofetner Alexis Ohanian, Digg has ambitions to again be the home page. The revival remains in its very early days-the platform is still calling only-but Digg launched new mobile applications this week, and I installed the iOS application on my phone to see what looks like.

New Digg works similar to Reddit: People offer links that others can comment on and vote on, and links with a lot of “Diggs” (UPVotes) will weaken the summary. You can also click on the “Bury” button similar to voting, but in posts (not comments), the Bury button works as a sign of Digg to reduce this type of content in your summary.

The Home tab contains four main categories: Trending, most Dugg, the latest, and heating. I am not quite sure of the difference between “Trending” and “Heating Up”, but the content in the last category felt that it was a struggle.

Within each of these categories, you can get the application surface content from “My Settings”, which is withdrawn from the societies you follow, or “All Digg”, which is withdrawn from both Digg. (There are only a few widely available societies: /ama, /ART, /Digg, /Diggnation, /Entertainment, Funding, Food, /Funny, /Games, /Lifestyle, /Music, /News, /Unexpected, /Politics, Flag, and /Sports there.

Take advantage of individual publications things like the text of the post and a guaranteed image or link. For links with links, you will see a summary of “TL; DR” with Amnesty International, written by “Digg Intelligence” at the end of the post. (I haven’t noticed any problems with the summaries yet.) In light of the main posts, you can read, dig or burial comments.

Everything looks good. and Mostly Good jobs. Several times, the application showed an error message after opening it, but after a while, things will do it as expected.

But assuming that these are just temporary blades and that extended problems are not the rule, it is still too early to know if Digg has juice. A large part of Reddit is to find a community specialized in something that you care about, but since users cannot create societies yet, I will have to continue to get my country Faris Faris: Silksong Memories from R/Silksong. Since Digg is still an invitation, there are not many people or posts on the site yet; It might be some time until the platform really sees some Legendary comments.

Digg also has much lower features than Reddit today. There is no way to chat in particular with users on the basic system, for example. But based on what you think in the current case of Reddit, this may be good.

I think the Digg iOS app has a great foundation (as the web app does, which is what It was launched in July) There is a large space to improve it with new features and more users. I don’t know if the Digg will be the home page again, but it seems at least a place you might want to return to.
