Didn't you have to buy an account at Digg? If so, were the bots buying the accounts? And if so, who was buying them?

No you just had to request the account and then one would be provided to you when they open it up. I finally received my account a couple months ago. It was worse than it is here. I was hoping for some good alternatives to Reddit but overall Lemmy is only halfway there digg was only a third of the way there.
