What happened when people switched to reddit? in c/[email protected]

Was there a catastrophic event similar to the Reddit API change that led people to flock to Reddit? Or was it the appeal of the format?

For reference: I started because my friend was browsing Reddit in class and it seemed like something to do. I’m not sure if I represented the general population

I was around at the time, but I went from /. and/or forums to nothing to reddit. I was also about 5-7 years late to reddit

What were the prevalent reddit like boards at the time doing such that reddit became popular?
