For me it was aimlessly wandering around -> 9gag -> imgur -> reddit. Never heard about digg before the API discussion.

Yup
It was my primary internet procrastination tool. Itβs been over a decade since using it though so I donβt remember it too well.
I kinda dabbled in most of them, except 4chan. In no particular order: Various webrings, usenet, tumblr, stumbleupon, digg, kiro5hin, reddit, slashdot, twitter, lots of rss. More reading than posting.
nah i lurked on /. for like 15 years and then made a reddit account that later got banned for being anti-white
I used Plime before reddit, around 2008. Hard to even find info on it these days, not that it was anything special; same general setup as digg or reddit or lemmy.
