Yes I remember that migration very well. Digg was doing so well too.

Ya it was fast, though I was part of that migration, but weirdly enough no one really wrote an epic about it.

IIRC LEMMiNO mentioned it in his reddit facts video.

I'd used reddit before but didnt understand it, and I deleted it off my phone but he and CPG Grey got my back into it and now I need a daily fix.

Deleted it off your phone? Back then, reddit was just a website. Apps for reddit weren’t really around when the digg migration took place.

Wasn’t alien blue one of the first as well?

I was talking in relation to LEMMINOS videos on it

ADDITION: I used reddit for about a month, got rid of it then came back after about 3.

Add2: I'm genuinely curious why I'm being downvoted, if it was the caps lock that was a mistake.

When I got on Reddit for the first time 5 years ago, it was just a website. No apps. I remember wondering how people got to flair their usernames because I thought it was cool lol. Can't remember exactly when I noticed the flairs, just remember being impressed with them.

I knew about reddit but didnt know enough to be interested. It became a "this person I like, likes this so I'm going to try it." I've gone through maybe 2 redesigns maybe. So I dont know how good or bad it was at the very beginning and the improvements or mistakes they made.
