We will be replacing one of our primary databases at this time

Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary

This scheduled maintenance affects: reddit.com (Desktop Web, Mobile Web, Native Mobile Apps, Vote Processing, Comment Processing, Spam Processing, View Counts)

Maintenance has been completed. All services are now back to normal.

We are again seeing reports from users that Reddit is down for them. It’s worth mentioning that only some users are apparently facing the issue at the moment.

A quick look at Reddit’s status page shows no glitch, meaning either the page is yet to be updated or it’s a minor glitch that should get sorted soon.

Reddit is again glitching. Many users are complaining the site is not accessible at the moment. Even for us, the site is taking a significant amount to load.

We are keeping a close eye, and will update here if this turns out to be a full blown outage or anything else comes to our notice.

We are yet again seeing user reports that say Reddit is down. The service’s status page currently shows a steep spike in error rate. Everything is operational though at the moment, at least according to that page.

Looks like there’s certainly an issue as Reddit says they’re investigating the incident.

There indeed was an issue with the service, as has been stated at Reddit Status page. But a fix for the same has also been implemented.

As of now, Reddit is up and working at least in the Indian region. In case the service is still down for you, it should gradually pick up.

Reddit is down again as users are getting ‘service unavailable’ page on accessing the website. However, the status page for the service currently lists all systems as operational. Should be a minor glitch, but we’ll keep a close watch.
