Reddit back online after SECOND outage in less than 24 hours

Reddit is back online after more than an hour of outage – the second outage to hit the site in less than 24 hours.

  • Reddit went offline on Wednesday morning for users around the world
  • The outage occurred around 10:01 am ET and affected more than 17,000 Americans.
  • This is the second failure of the social network in less than 24 hours.

Reddit went offline for tens of thousands of users worldwide for more than an hour – less than 24 hours since the site experienced a single outage.

Wednesday’s incident occurred around 10:01 AM ET, affecting the app, website, and connection to the service, and feeds are not loading properly.

Downdetector, a crash tracking site, has identified more than 17,000 users in the US who are having issues with Reddit.

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

Reddit has become inaccessible to users around the world. The outage appeared around 10:01 am ET and Reddit “resolved” the incident at 11:14 am ET.

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

And while it’s not clear how many were affected by Wednesday’s outage, it’s safe to say that many were affected.

Users flocked to Twitter to share their frustration that the site was not working properly and to see if anyone else was experiencing outages.

One user named Tommy Shelby shared a screenshot from the site saying it was not his account.

Hey.. @reddit this is not my reddit profile… i think there is a bug that shows someone’s profile as mine… it even shows info and all… you will be in total privacy if don’t fix this ASAP… I think Reddit is down too,” Shelby tweeted.

Other Twitter users have joked that now that Reddit is down, they need to get back to real work.

Many users were more disappointed that this was the second Reddit crash in less than 24 hours.

The problem seems to be that the feeds are not loading on either the desktop or the mobile app.

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

Wednesday's outage is the second to hit Reddit in less than 24 hours.

“We have discovered an issue that was preventing feeds from loading for users on desktop and mobile,” Reddit shared on their status page.

“We are working on a fix for the problem and should fix it soon.”

Tuesday’s glitch appeared around 3:00 pm ET, affecting the API, comments, and voting on the platform, but it was fixed two hours later.

Reddit isn’t the only social network disappointing users as Facebook Messenger crashed around the world on Monday.

Users mostly said they couldn’t send messages, but others reported they couldn’t receive them, and still others reported they couldn’t even access the app.

The outage affected several countries, including the UK and the US.
