Key takeaways:

Digg is being rebooted by original founder Kevin Rose and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian as a Reddit-style aggregator built for the AI era, now in alpha testing on iOS.
The app features feeds like “Most Dugg,” “Trending,” and “Heating up,” and allows voting, commenting, and saving posts — with only a few preset communities currently available.
AI is used to summarize linked news articles, though it lacks advanced summarization options like “explain both sides” or “explain like I’m 5.”
Gamification includes leaderboards and “Gems” for early engagement, though Digg has time-bound them to avoid past manipulation issues.
Future plans include user-created communities and LLM-powered customization, but the app still lacks a compelling reason to pull users away from Reddit.
