- AlexanderZ 14y agoReddit is far from being a link aggregator right now. Reddit is all about the community. I'd call Reddit a community of communities, I feel like this is what describes it the best (in its current state).
- klein 14y agoBut their algorithms for aggregating are very different. Reddit is primarily based on submitted links. Digg is primarily based on links shared on social networks.
- captainarab 14y agoTrue. However, at the end of the day, both of these sites revolve around the content "submitted" by users (either directly on the site or across social networks), and they need this content to thrive/survive. So while their purpose/methods may be very different, both sites co-exist in the same ecosystem?
