About Reddit outages
Reddit is where a lot of people go to confirm that something else is down, so its own outages create a distinctive gap in the internet's reporting. Its error page - A broken snoo and "Our CDN was unable to reach our servers" - Is one of the most recognisable on the web.
The site fails in layers. The CDN can serve cached pages while the application is unreachable, producing a read-only Reddit where voting and commenting error out. Search is a separate index and goes down on its own. Old.reddit.com and new.reddit.com are effectively different front ends and one frequently works when the other does not, which is the quickest diagnostic available. The public API has its own availability and its own rate limits, so third-party clients can break while the site is healthy. Reddit maintains a detailed status page with component-level history.
What to do if Reddit is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached reddit.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Check a second product from the same company. If Instagram and Facebook fail together the problem is the shared platform, not the app you happened to open.
How social media services typically fail
The app opens, your profile loads, and the feed spins forever. Posting fails silently or queues. Direct messages frequently keep working for a while after the feed has stopped, which is the clearest sign that the platform is partly up rather than down. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our social media status page, with more background in why websites go down.

Reddit measured against its peers
How it compares with other social media services
Over the last 30 days Reddit ranks 5 of 7 social media services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Reddit sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is Facebook.
On speed, Reddit answers our checks in about 140 ms against a category average of 446 ms - Faster than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 59 ms and the slowest 251 ms, against a 30-day average of 140 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every social media service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure. Check it yourself.
Reddit status: Common questions
Is Reddit down right now?
Reddit is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach Reddit when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is Reddit?
Reddit has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does Reddit have an official status page?
Yes - Reddit publishes one at https://www.redditstatus.com/. It is the authoritative source for confirmed incidents, though official pages usually update after user reports have already peaked.
Reddit discussion
Useful comments say what broke, roughly where you are and roughly when it started - That is what turns a pile of complaints into something other people can act on. Links are shown as plain text and carry no SEO value, so there is nothing here worth spamming.
