EnglishHow to Browse Topics and Stories on Digg
Updated
Digg organizes its content around three main browsing entry points: Trending, All Topics, and Stories. You can use the sidebar toggle to switch between or filter these views, then scan by topic or by what's currently rising. The site covers multiple subject areas, including AI, so you can either follow a specific interest or let the trending feed surface what's moving first.
The three browsing entry points
Digg's interface exposes its content through these labeled sections:
| Entry point | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Trending | Content gaining attention right now — the "before it trends" angle Digg positions itself around |
| All Topics | The full set of subject areas Digg covers, so you can narrow to one domain |
| Stories | Individual pieces of coverage you can open and read |
These appear together as "Trending All Topics Stories" in the site's navigation, meaning they're meant to be used as a set rather than in isolation.
How to actually browse
- Start with Trending if you don't have a specific interest. This shows what Digg is currently surfacing, which matches its stated focus on watching "the people who move first."
- Switch to All Topics when you want to narrow down. This is the path to take if you care about one field — for example, AI — rather than the general feed.
- Open Stories to read a specific item once you've found something worth your time.
- Use the sidebar toggle to move between these views or filter what you're seeing. The sidebar is the control for changing your browsing context, not a separate content area.
Browsing by topic vs. browsing by heat
The two approaches answer different questions:
- By heat (Trending): "What is gaining traction right now?" Good when you want to stay ahead of a curve and don't mind a mixed set of subjects.
- By topic (All Topics): "What is happening in the area I care about?" Good when you have a defined interest and want to filter out everything else.
Digg's own framing — "See what's next in AI before it trends" — suggests the topic route is especially useful for fast-moving fields where catching something early matters more than catching it comprehensively.
Common sticking points
- Expecting a search-first experience. The documented entry points are Trending, All Topics, and Stories, plus the sidebar toggle. If you're looking for a specific headline, browsing by topic is the more reliable route than assuming a keyword search will carry you.
- Treating Trending as a topic filter. Trending is a heat-based view, not a subject filter. To isolate a domain, go through All Topics.
- Missing the sidebar. The sidebar toggle is easy to overlook, but it's what lets you change or narrow your view — without it you're stuck in whichever section you landed on.
What you can expect to find
Digg describes itself as watching "the people who move first," and its coverage spans multiple topics with AI called out as a focus area. In practice, that means the Trending view will mix subjects, while All Topics is where you go to commit to one.
