Tens of thousands of Reddit users have reported experiencing app and server connection issues in the last hour, according to outage monitoring platform Downdetector.com.
History of Previous Outages
This is not the first time Reddit has experienced an outage. On March 14, the social network was hit by another massive outage that prevented users worldwide from accessing the platform’s website and mobile apps.
One month earlier, a partial outage caused a severely degraded search experience and stale subreddit feeds for desktop users.
On February 15, a major outage blocked access to the home feed, preventing comments, awards, and karma from displaying or processing correctly for approximately 30 minutes.
