Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up39·11 months agoFor me what made Reddit great was not the big wildly popular communities. It was the small niche communities that were (IMHO) only able to form in their shadow and you need a critical mass of people before you can have that.
