trust me, just submitting interesting articles is not enough… - the copywriting involved plays a big part, so does the “critical mass” of initial votes

reddit has a different design and user base, eager to increase their karma points by promoting other new stories as well.
However, the Digg system implies that: either the story u submit is on a popular blog(so that other users get to submit/vote it), or - you have some way to tell the world u submitted a cool story - this was mainly accomplished via the digg friends system. Otherwise, your only chance is that random visitors vote your story on the upcoming page - pretty rare.

> I still have no idea how u’d be able to get a story promoted to the front page

Maybe just submitting interesting articles should do it At least this is how it (mostly) works on reddit.
