Original Digg was what reddit is now. And Reddit was what Hacker news is now. But luckily I cant see a mass migration here from reddit. I cant even see a reddit replacement. Discord is the platform of choice for discussion these days. Most users will either drift off there or find alternative single issue forums to replace what they were viewing on Reddit. This is one of the places i'll come to but I'll see if I can find other communitities with a decent level of activity as well.

I remember when hacker news would shut down signups during reddit outages to prevent the mass migration lol. Great move IMO. I don't think they do that any more. Probably because reddit doesn't have nearly as much downtime as in the old days.

Lemmy?

No chance. If the Twitter/Mastodon debacle taught us anything it's that federated networks have a long way to go before they can achieve anything close to mass adoption.

There's one guy who spends a ridiculously large amount of time posting nothing but pro Russian and Chinese propaganda on various communities and I've seen people turned off to Lemmy just because of him.
