If you’ve had trouble accessing the news and discussion forum Reddit on Tuesday, it’s not just you.
At 9:30 a.m. PT, Reddit’s status monitoring page, RedditStatus.com, said that the company was “investigating elevated errors across reddit.com and native apps.” RedditStatus.com reported degraded site performance for both desktop web use and native mobile apps.
The site-monitoring service DownDetector also reported issues at Reddit, providing even more details. (Downdetector is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
“Reddit is currently experiencing a significant internal outage causing widespread service disruptions,” the site reported. “The impact is categorized as Very High, primarily affecting mobile app access (55%) and website connectivity (39%). While reports are heavily concentrated in major hubs like New York City and Chicago, the lack of ISP correlation suggests a broad, nationwide issue stemming from Reddit’s internal servers rather than external network providers.”

A representative for Reddit did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Another social media site, X.com, formerly Twitter, also showed problems on Tuesday, according to DownDetector. Those problems seemed to spike around 6:30 a.m. PT and then improve after.
