Reddit has the problem where the most popular subreddits (r/gaming for example) have generic content upvoted the most, and so there often isn't actually anything worthwhile there if you have an actual interest besides memes or general industry news.
Then on the other extreme, you have overly niche subreddits for specific video games, where most of the content is just fan art, overly in-depth subreddit drama, or similar memes now just re-skinned for that specific game.
There isn't really a middle ground for a lot of these categories, for the people who want "just enough content for the games I like". I've found either subscribe to r/gaming and get a broad amount of nothing, or subscribe to a list of the games you enjoy and get a very in-depth lot of nothing.
I guess the trick here is how do you make a site that is so much better than a subreddit that anyone is willing to manually click over to your site instead of consuming the subreddit’s content along with the rest of their reddit feed.
There are many ways. If you take the pc hardware subreddits for example, providing tools to easily build a pc spec and share it would already make it more useful than Reddit.
Goto some of these subreddits, and you’ll see the hoops these people jump through to take part in the community. Definitely need to start solving stuff like this.
