Are you perhaps looking at the wrong time scale? I wasnt around for it but as I understand the digg -> reddit transition took over a year.

- i_am_jl 3y agoMy memory is of a week, maybe a couple. It was less than a week into Digg v4 when the front page was just a ton of Reddit links. I think that was pretty much the end, but don't have traffic/user numbers.
- sushid 3y agoIIRC there were always small exoduses but the biggest flip happened when a major version update happened and Digg started shilling paid posts at the top of the page. Folks moved over to Reddit en mass and Digg essentially died in a matter of weeks.
