Is Reddit down? Server status reports indicate outages

by

As a seasoned gamer and Reddit enthusiast who has weathered many storms in the digital world, I must admit, this sudden outage of Reddit feels like a punch to the gut. It’s akin to waking up on a Sunday morning, only to find your favorite gaming console unresponsive. The anticipation of what memes, discussions, and news await me is suddenly stalled, leaving an emptiness that no other platform seems able to fill quite as well.

There’s no need to be concerned – your account hasn’t been suspended. If you’ve been questioning whether Reddit is experiencing issues, it seems like some global users might be facing temporary server outages.

As reported by Down Detector, Reddit started experiencing server outages around 1 pm PST today. User complaints peaked at a staggering 142,630 at the time of writing. The cause behind this latest network problem affecting the site remains undetermined. Nevertheless, the backend team is actively looking into the issue, and we can expect further details soon. Meanwhile, we will keep monitoring the situation and share updates as soon as they become available.

We tried to access Reddit to check for ourselves, and we were unable to get onto the site.

Although unsure if fully prepared, we’ll closely monitor for any official updates as we grapple with potential global consequences should Reddit experience downtime.
