If you have been facing trouble accessing Reddit, you’re not alone. Reports on Downdetector suggest that the outage began at around 1:30 PM ET, with close to 44,000 reports already piled up since then. Accessing the site returns a “Sorry, we couldn't load posts for this page” error.
A quick look at the Reddit status page suggests that the company is aware of the issue. While not much information is provided yet, the firm does acknowledge “elevated error reports” and notes that it is investigating the issues. The problems seem to be affecting users across regions, including in counties like the U.S., UK, India, and more. The status page mentions that the issue affects the mobile web, mobile app, and desktop versions.
We will keep an eye out for further updates from the company and will update the post accordingly.
