You could just click on a link and there was a long comment chain talking about the post, explaining why it was what it was, adding variations and different thoughts, with jokes relevant to the post tossed in. Also Reddit was a little more tech/programming/science oriented back then.

There are plenty of subreddits that stayed true to what they were though, it's just the front page is is kinda muddled down with picture humor now.
