I wonder if the demise of Digg three years ago and the (supposedly) inflow of new users have been problematic at the time.

- jonursenbach 13y agoMost likely as Reddit had continued downtime around that time with EC2/EBS scaling issues.
- jedberg 13y agoThere wasn't actually a very large jump in traffic when Digg v4 was launched. Most of those folks were already reddit users. Traffic bumped a little bit, but not all that much. It's important to keep in mind that reddit was already doing twice as much traffic as Digg before they launched v4.
- conradfr 13y agoThanks for your input, didn't know that. I, for one, went from a /r/php lurker to real user at that time so I thought there was dozens of us, dozens !
