I don’t recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

this is the truth. it was never about original content, it was a link aggregator with threaded discussion. and.. what communities? there were no subs when i started reddit.
