What was the appeal of Manichaeism to Augustine of Hippo and why did he reject it?
Augustine, when a young adult, was deceived by the reading of the Old Testament, full of "fabulae", stories depecting superstious behaviors, and he did not want to follow the catholic Church authority saying that Old Testament was divinely inspired. He also wanted an answer about the origin of evil. Manicheans proposed a religious path of liberty, explaining the evil as a principle opposed to the good, the world being the place of the struggle between the two principles. There was no moral responsibility for the sins... But after nine years as an "auditor" of this sect, he could not more accept the manichean dogmas with a non-real Christ and evil as a material reality. It was an intellectual deception in his search of wisdom and truth. St Ambrose, the bishop of Milan (Italy) taught him the catholic interpretation of the Old Testament as the preparation of the New Covenant in Christ, really man and really God. Augustine then discovered God in the life of the catholic Church and asked for baptism. It was in 387.

Did Augustine joined many cults before becoming a Christian?
If you are asking about Augustine of Hippo, he does not seem to have joined "many" cults, but he did belong to one in particular-- a Persian religion that was, at that time, a rival of Christianity-- it was called Manicheism, named after their founder, a Mesopotamian man named Mani. The Manicheans were dualists: they believed life was a cosmic battle between good and evil; the cosmic battle was also fought in the heavens, with a deity who represented the light of wisdom and a deity who represented the darkness of ignorance. Ultimately, Augustine drifted away from this cult, and came to disagree with its teachings. He was baptized a Christian around the year 387 and became a leader of the church in Africa.
