## What is Digg?

Digg is where you can share and discover the best of the internet—and beyond.

Real talk with real people.

Post links, media, or seed new discussions to share with the world and allow others to join into the conversation.

Find your people. Build community.

If you digg it, there’s a good chance someone else out here does, too! Communities are topic or niche-based spaces to discover and discuss the best in any given topic. These are your spaces, so let’s keep it weird.

Give your post more context for discussion with enriched content, powered by the latest and greatest in technology, including AI.

See what’s trending. Discover what’s next.

It’s not just about racking up diggs. Being amongst the very first to digg trending posts awards you Gems to celebrate your taste and curatorial contributions within your community.

Go wide. Dive deep.

### 3/5 — Good app, but a major power drain

*2026-02-26*

I love the app, despite the bugs - save one major flaw.

It really drains the battery on my iPad. Seriously, it drains my iPad battery at an average 2% per minute. 

Can you guys please fix this issue? It’s also kind of suspicious, because usually when an app drains power that fast, it’s usually because the app is harvesting personal data.

### 5/5 — Digg it!

*2026-02-23*

So much fun. It’s like a cross between Reddit and insta. Can’t be beat. And why do you need two different apps to participate in instagram. Actually four if you count Facebook and messenger. What kinda baloney is that? This app is way better than all that mess.

### 1/5 — Same hivemind different app

*2026-02-04*

It’s the same toxic hivemind as Reddit, people downvoting differing opinions and constantly posting politics across every community.

I was hoping for a nice new place online for technical discussions and humor, instead I feel like I’m on an empty version of Reddit with less moderation. The AI summaries result in uninformed comments from people who aren’t reading the articles. While I appreciate the idea, Digg’s AI summaries are a huge disservice to having real discussion.

### 2/5 — Bad pressure cooker

*2026-02-04*

I was really so hopeful for this app, but it is so riddled with political propaganda, yellow journalism, falsehoods, fake information and political rhetoric from both sides that has really just made me not even wanna open the app anymore. it’s a pressure cooker for bad stuff. It does have a nice design and layout and functions as well.

### 5/5 — Ye olde internet is back

*2026-01-23*

It feels like when social media sites first started taking their first clumsy steps into the light of a new world. It’s fun, it’s quirky, it’s a modern and fresh take on the social platforms we all love (or are addicted to)

### 1/5 — digg delete your account w/o reason

*2026-01-22*

dont put your time into this worthless app. it deleted my account for no reason. i dont get email or any communication from them explaining why they deleted my account. Since I am nobody, the logic reason is that they don’t want me to own the two popular popular communities I created after it opened to the public to register. They just don’t want me, a nobody, to own something good. The company make me sick. I was an early supporter of new digg and really looking forward to share things on my communities and that’s how it treats its users. I strongly recommend people use Reddit instead of this bad news app.

### 5/5 — I’m loving it

*2026-01-16*

Loving this new version of digg. I enjoyed it before, but this is a much better way to interact with the site, then the web interface they used to have

### 5/5 — Bye bye Reddit

*2026-01-16*

So glad that Digg is back. They have a lot of work to do but they are on the right track. “Dank Memes” is the best community on there

### 5/5 — Digging BETA

*2025-12-24, version 1.6.3*

Humans sharing stuff with humans. What better way could there be.
In BETA, keep calm.

### 1/5 — Its alright, they avoid following user suggestion, IDK why they ask for them

*2025-12-23*

Good to have a reddit alternative, has it's own issues but isn't as bad, will be solid once it's public and ready, isn't ready now at all lol

I prefer lemmy/piefed and their many apps, federation is the way to go, tired of corporations controllng what we say, plus its more developed and has custom communities for different topics, that is a weird thing to omit
