Reddit Faces Back-to-Back Outages Disrupting Millions of Users

The popular platform experienced two major outages within 24 hours, leaving users worldwide unable to access its services due to degraded performance.

Reddit experienced two significant outages on Wednesday and Thursday, with over 50,000 users reporting issues on Downdetector during peak disruptions.
Users encountered error messages such as 'connection failure' across both the website and mobile app, with pages failing to load or displaying incomplete content.
Reddit attributed the outages to instability caused by a recent platform update, which was reverted to restore functionality, though issues persisted intermittently.
The outages affected users globally, including in the US, UK, and Australia, and sparked frustration among Reddit's community, already discontent with recent platform changes.
Reddit's technical team has been actively addressing the issues, reporting gradual improvements, but has not provided a detailed explanation or timeline for full resolution.
