    Yeah, Digg v4 hit like a shockwave and site traffic plummeted as users immediately flocked to Reddit by the millions. Reddit spent the next week crashing like crazy from the influx of new users and had to temporarily suspend and then limit new user creation and new sub creation for weeks after to handle the strain. It was kind of similar to what happened when everyone rushed over to Lemmy for the first time, but that happened a bit more slowly, over a longer period of time.
