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.

Lemmy is not dead at all. It's just doesn't have hundreds of millions. There are many vibrant communities, like this one

Waltz into any thread and say the word "Tankie", and then come back and tell me if this is still true lmao

Lemmy is pretty great. Growth isn't as important when profit isn't the goal, and I like having a lot of communists. It might appear more dead from your side because you're not on an instance federated with most of them, though. Lemmy.world is definitely more similar to reddit.

I like the fediverse based alternatives. Lemmy, piefed, MBin(or something like that - never tried it). Feels more like building a community. Most corparate Digital Media for me feel more like being forced to go there.
