Reddit is back online after being hit with SECOND outage in less than 24 hours

Reddit went down for tens of thousands of users across the globe for more than one hour – less than 24 hours since the site experienced a separate outage.

Wednesday’s incident appeared around 10:01 am ET, impacting the app, website and service connection – and feeds are not loading properly. 

Downdetector, a site that monitors outages, showed more than 17,000 users in the US who were having problems with Reddit. 

The social networking site acknowledged the issue nearly 50 minutes later and implemented a fix that seems to have resolved the problem.

Reddit, a social network with a forum-style discussion structure, has around 50 million daily active users worldwide.

And while it is unclear how many were impacted by Wednesday’s outage, it is safe to safe many were.

Users flocked to Twitter to share their frustrations about the site not working correctly and see if anyone else experienced an outage.

One user named Tommy Shelby shared a screenshot of the site, shared that the account is not his.

‘Yo .. @reddit this ain’t my reddit profile….i think there is a bug that shows someone’s profile as mine ..it even shows insights and all ..you will be in deep privacy s*** if you don’t rectify this ASAP ..i think reddit down too,’ Shelby wrote in a tweet.

Other Twitter users joked that now with Reddit being down, they had to get back to doing actual work.

Many users were more frustrated that this is the second outage to hit Reddit in less than 24 hours.

The issue seems to be that feeds are not loading on both the desktop and the mobile app. 

And several countries are impacted, including the US, the UK, Brazil and parts of Europe.

‘We’ve identified an issue which prevented feeds from loading for users on desktop and mobile devices,’ Reddit shared on its status page.

‘We’re working to repair the issue and should have a fix in place shortly.’ 

Tuesday’s outage appeared around 3:00 pm ET, impacting APIs, commenting and voting on the platform – but it was resolved two hours later. 

Reddit is not the only social network site frustrating users, as Facebook Messenger crashed worldwide on Monday. 

Users mostly said they could not send messages, but others reported being unable to receive them and others reported that they could not even access the app.

Several countries were affected by the outage, including the UK and US.
