I’m making the same transition kinda. I moved from Digg to Reddit over ten years ago. I was on Lemmy for a while more recently and then Digg rose from the ashes a couple months ago, but I’m realizing I like Lemmy/Piefed much more. I already had a trial run on breaking my social media habits when I left twitter though. I think a big part of it is realizing you don’t need a constantly updated firehose of useless information lol I’m still very online but probably like half of what I was when I was using Reddit and twitter. Now I have a blog, read a lot of RSS for that breaking, early news and I go to Lemmy for news with social commentary from normal people who aren’t influencers. I comment more here too because I’m not competing with millions of people to have an edgy top rated comment. I think the biggest thing is embracing smaller communities and going from there.

New Digg is supposedly going to use AI for moderation, so why would anyone want to move back there?
And I’m in the same boat, originally fled from Digg to Reddit. I still remember how much I hated how Reddit looked compared to Digg, which is funny, because even though I no longer have an account on Reddit, I still browse certain subreddits there from time to time and I will just not let go of the old.reddit.com layout now.
