I agree the main problem with Digg is the community as well. The broader Digg community just isn't interested in the kind of content that I am. That doesn't mean they all aren't though. I'm sure there are a lot of people digging quality content from good sources, ie Fast Company and The Nation, but their submissions and Diggs get lost in all the other crap the majority of the community is submitting and digging.
The way I see myself using it would be to subscribe to feeds of primarily publishers, like say The Economist, FT, Fast Company, Inc., PopSci, blogs, etc. just like in RSS.
But rather than seeing just a straight stream of their updates, the social voting aspect of Digg will help highlight some of the best content coming from these sources.
I don't expect to be discovering the latest Suster, Wilson, or Dixon post from the new Digg. HN and Twitter already make sure I see stuff like that, but not the broader realm of publishers who produce content that I would read...but they never get in front of me know.
