That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even Digg may come back.

It died so hard it underflowed and came back to life. Poorly most likely.

And they even hired the Apollo app dev
urhovaldeko@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Really? Apollo was the best client, kinda miss it and the reddit that used to be.

Yeah, that’s what I’m using.

Yeah, I’m sad the developer didn’t make a fork for Lemmy.
But Voyager has a similar user experience and it’s for Lemmy.

That’s what I’m using now :)

Rose just bought the name back. It’s relaunching soon.

I missed out on Digg and started right with Reddit, if it is alive or back, it would be a fun experiment (or maybe not a fun one).

It’s going to re-launch soon

And the Apollo developer is apparently consulting on the mobile experience in one last “fuck you” to Reddit.
fluxion@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Lol, if they don’t blunder it i might actually check it out here and there just as a fuck you to reddit
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Curiosity and nostalgia will definitely get me to check it out. I enjoyed digg before the v4 explosion that drove everyone to reddit.
Scrollone@feddit.it 1 month ago
Why would you? We have Lemmy now.

Apollo was like the main one right? I was a rif user. Apollo’s dev is the one that spez literally lied about?
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Apollo was mostly a one man band, although I think Christian occasionally had someone helping out with services. The client side was basically all him.
And yeah, Christian posted all of Spez’s comms and showed that Spez was lying to the community.

Yeah they just had some bugs last go around and needed a bit of time (give or take 13 years to fix them.)

They’re joining the fediverse.
MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Did they actually say that?

No

Kevin Rose is in charge again? I thought he sold Digg after the massive failure that was v4 back in 2010.
Either way, I’m glad to see that digg is coming back. Reddit needs more competition. I’m hopeful that they will succeed this time around and steal back the user base that migrated to reddit and helped make them become the evil giant they are today (I am one such migrant).
