Digg:
It had potential, but after becoming an ai news aggregator now there’s none.
Lemmy:
Low engagement / kinda dead. Also, I have heard that the growth is slowing down(somebody pls provide a citation for this).
Besides that, it’s pretty much reddit, for better or for worse.
9gag:
I just made a post there, my first impressions are not good. Got insulted and my post got removed. Now, that might have something to do with me not understanding how the website works, but only time will tell. I will spend more time there to see if it’s worth anything.
Not a dumb idea at all imo. One of the reasons I switched apps from Voyager to Mlem is that Mlem has a small feature that shows posts in other communities that are the same as one selected. It would be even better if it aggregated them but it’s better than sorting through a bunch of duplicate posts on the feed.
