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?

Digg was the main competitor. They updated so that it showed where the links were coming from, and so many were coming from reddit it started a mass-exodus. In retrospect, it was the beginning of the end. A cool nerd hangout got mass appeal.
