Digg Public Beta Is Live

To the Groundbreakers and those early Private Beta testers here: thank you. To all the new people joining: Welcome! The Digg Public Beta is rolling out and will be available to everyone everywhere shortly.

That doesn’t mean Digg is “done.” It means we’re ready to grow in the open. To test features, listen closely, and evolve the product alongside the people using it. We’re just getting started, and you know the drill: things will change, feedback will shape direction, and Digg will keep getting better.

What won’t change is the core idea:

Digg is being built for humans to share. It’s all about People. Places. Things.

And bringing back social discovery built by communities, not by algorithms.

Community creation is now live

With the launch of our Public Beta, we’re opening up one of the most important parts of Digg: Community creation.

We know how eager many of you are to move beyond broad topics into more niche, user-driven spaces to find your people and build something that actually feels like home. So we’ve fast-tracked the foundational tools you need to start creating places for shared discovery.

These are your communities and we can’t wait to see what kind of space you’ll build.

Every account can create up to two communities. That limit is intentional. Communities here aren’t meant to be camped on or abandoned. They matter, and we want them to be cared for.

We’ve included some early tooling to enable community managers to remove any posts and comments that are against their community guidelines, and a community ledger so all members can see which posts have been removed and why.

A design refresh, built for scale

You might notice some visual updates around Digg.

This isn’t just a coat of paint. We’ve redesigned key experiences from the feed to the community pages to better support a growing, more active network of people and communities.

The new UI is cleaner, more flexible, and better equipped to scale with us. And this is just the foundation. More tools and upgrades are on the way!

What happens next

Public Beta means more people, more ideas, and more voices shaping Digg.

If something is weird or broken, tag us and let us know. If something is really awesome, then definitely tell us that, too! Every bit of feedback helps guide what Digg becomes next.

To the early builders, testers, critics, and quiet caretakers who showed up when Digg was even more rough around the edges: thank you. You kicked the tires. You asked hard questions. You helped us figure out what mattered—and just as importantly, what didn’t.

Let’s Digg.
