They dug their own grave.

This may be a shocker, but some people just don't want NSFW in their feeds.
That's true, there's enough porn and shock content found elsewhere.
Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
I can’t imagine returning to Digg no matter how much of a reboot it is.
No /. love? Though I guess it's probably the same reasons many bounce off feddi ATM. It was always a bit more trek/tech-ie.
Replace Digg with Imgur and you have my progression over the years.
I'd heard of Digg, but never really took notice of it until it suddenly collapsed. Now a former Reddit cofounder and a former Digg founder are revitalizing Digg? No thanks. I'll continue to avoid that site.
What does Digg offer anyone that the Forumverse doesn't?
Corporate overlords
Exactly!
Active users. Lemmy seems a bit dead after the great Reddit escape calmed down.
Maybe if Reddit screws up a couple of more times more people start using Lemmy. I think it was the same with Mastodon before as well.
Name recognition.
If only Lemmy's user interface wasn't so clunky.
Which user interface? I have several. It depends upon which app you're using.
