Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?

They’ll survive but I don’t think they will be the powerhouse it used to be. They’re a link/meme aggregator with forum functionality. Memmy for me has already filled the void. I’ll pop back into Reddit sometimes the same way I pop into Digg.

Agreed. I've used forums and BBSes, /., Digg, Reddit and now Lemmy. The world moves on. While the URLs change, the content remains the same.

TIL Digg was still around...

I agree, Reddit will carry on, but this will change them. They will possibly fall from their dominant spot. Although the sheep are stubborn (I still don't understand how the people there could withstand that atrocious mobile app they're trying to inflict on all their users).
