Overview
- User reports of access problems first appeared Tuesday morning and a larger surge began around 4:15 p.m. EDT that pushed DownDetector to nearly 29,000 reports within minutes.
- About 80% of reporters said the native mobile app was not working, with other complaints describing login failures, blank or non-refreshing feeds, posts and comments failing to load, and search problems.
- Reports were concentrated in the United States and also came from Canada, the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, indicating the disruption was partial and geographically uneven.
- Reddit had not confirmed a platform-wide outage and its official status page continued to list core systems as operational, so users turned to outage trackers and social posts for real-time signals.
- Outage trackers show near-real-time user reports but do not replace vendor confirmation, so affected users should check Reddit’s status page, try basic fixes like restarting the app or clearing cache, and await an official update.
