Was early reddit code the bunch of arc macros and this here (hn) originally? Was it basically a fork of pg code for this?

It was (is?) Python: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
It was definitely lisp before it was python - they used to talk about a rewrite - one of the earliest reddits were the lisp reddits - my question is if it was Arc by Paul Graham or a seperate program in Common Lisp
Reddit was Common Lisp, not Arc (or Racket at all): https://web.archive.org/web/20060114065748/http://reddit.com...
Arc was released a few years after Reddit announced their Python rewrite anyways

Before the Python rewrite it was written on Common Lisp: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0

It's the other way around. Reddit predates HN, and one of the reasons HN was made was to recreate early reddit culture (ref: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ycombinator.com/announc...).
