Refresh
The platform is therapeutic. From the appears of issues, Reddit is returning to kind. It is nonetheless a bit sluggish and there are these occasional massive, crimson challenge bars however we’re seeing increasingly more full pages with out that blemish. A few of them are even loading shortly.
Within the first signal of really excellent news, Reddit’s essential Fashionable subreddit returned, although not with out the large, crimson error bar. We, nonetheless, take into account this progress. Full Reddit and posting ought to be again very quickly after which we are able to all get again to laughing at foolish highway and retailer indicators and cats telling us satirically to “hold in there.”
Reddit’s final public touch upon the outage was on X (previously Twitter) in response to somebody asking if Reddit was down. They posted, “We’re engaged on it.”
Maybe we spoke too quickly. As of 5:00PM ET, Reddit’s homepage was once more largely empty. The error message on the high is now essentially the most attention-grabbing factor to learn. Reddit has not up to date its standing report since 3:38PM ET.
Reddit’s Fashionable part stays largely down and whereas the opposite subreddits are reside, Reddit’s response time if you click on on any of them is sort of sluggish. That is nonetheless not the Reddit you recognize and love.
If Down Detector is any measure, Reddit seems to recovering. It is clearly not out of the woods but and Reddit’s standing web page has but to indicate an replace, however all indicators level to an imminent return to regular Reddit up- and down-voting.
Some components of Reddit seem like performing usually apart from this annoying error message banner that seems on the high of virtually each web page. It is one other signal that every one shouldn’t be nicely in Reddit Land.
Even upstart social media platform Bluesky was paying consideration although it, too, was struggling by a sequence of small outages on Wednesday. There isn’t a indication they’re linked. Bluesky retains happening due to its sudden and virtually unprecedented recognition.
As is normally the case, folks on different social media platforms are having fun with slightly schadenfreude over Reddit’s ongoing issues.

As of 4:36PM ET, Reddit’s homepage was failing once more. Clearly, the difficulty, no matter it’s, is important sufficient that Reddit’s builders are probably enjoying a recreation of whackamole with essential failures.
Whereas the Reddit homepage seems to be kind of practical, Reddit’s personal standing checker is reporting degraded efficiency for many of its companies. No phrase, but, on what’s inflicting the problems. and, sure, “common” stays offline.
Immediately, maybe coincidentally, was additionally the day of US Information Anchor Katie Couric’s first-ever Reddit AMA. It launched at 2PM ET, although we’re not pointing any fingers.
