Reddit is experiencing outages again

Following some apparent outages yesterday, Reddit is dealing with more issues Friday evening.

When logged in on my desktop browser, Reddit won’t load at all — I just run into error pages. In an incognito window, the site loads, though it seems to load slower than usual. I was also able to load the site on mobile Safari while logged out and after I logged in.

Reddit’s status page says in a 7:58PM ET message that “We’re experiencing an elevated level of errors and are currently looking into the issue.”

Downdetector shows a huge spike that, as I write this, is topping out at around 80,000 outage reports. The spike started to go up shortly after 7:30PM ET.

The company didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

Yesterday, the platform reportedly dealt with “international outages,” according to internet monitor NetBlocks. I personally didn’t run into any issues during those outages.
