Reddit says it has recovered from some big issues that lasted for about an hour. While outages were happening, I couldn’t load any Reddit pages on my browsers where I’m logged into the site — usually, I ran into an error message, though I also hit a blank white screen. However, if I tried to visit the site while logged out, pages loaded fine. As I write this, I’m not having any troubles browsing Reddit.

Things weren’t just down for me and Downdetector showed a peak of nearly 30,000 user reports.

Reddit says it had resolved the incident in a message at 6:15PM ET on its status site. During the issues, the status site said that there was a “major outage” on desktop web, mobile web, and the company’s native mobile apps.

Wednesday’s outages follow some other issues that cropped up in recent weeks. In June, the platform was crashing because of the many subreddits going dark to protest the company’s API pricing. In July, Reddit search was a little broken for hours.

It's a good reminder of how reliant we are on social media and websites like Reddit for information, connection, and entertainment. Outages can be frustrating, but they also highlight the intricate web of technology that underpins our digital lives. For those interested in the details, here's the link to an article about the Reddit outage on a popular website: Reddit Outage Social Media.
