Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Reddit does

Reddit is one of the most visited social platforms in the world, organized into thousands of topic-based communities called subreddits. Users submit posts, links, and comments which are ranked by community voting. Reddit serves as a major hub for news discussion, technical support, entertainment, and niche interest communities.

What an outage looks like

When Reddit is down, users typically see the mascot Snoo holding a broken page or a generic error screen. The site may load partially with missing content, comments may fail to post, or upvotes/downvotes may not register. The mobile app may show a persistent loading spinner or "Something went wrong" errors.

What to do about it

Check redditstatus.com for official incident reports. Reddit outages are usually resolved relatively quickly. If you need to access specific content, try searching Google's cache for the page or check web archive services. Old.reddit.com sometimes remains functional when the new interface is down.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Reddit is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Reddit outage FAQ

Why does Reddit go down so often?
Reddit handles enormous traffic volumes with complex real-time features like voting, comments, and live feeds. While Reddit has improved its reliability significantly in recent years, the combination of viral events and massive concurrent usage can still overwhelm systems. Major events like AMAs or breaking news can cause traffic spikes.
Will my Reddit post be lost if it goes down while I'm writing?
If you've already submitted the post and received confirmation, it's saved on Reddit's servers and will be visible when service returns. If you're mid-composition and the site crashes, the draft may be lost. For long posts, consider writing in a text editor first and pasting into Reddit.
Does old.reddit.com work when Reddit is down?
Sometimes. Old.reddit.com and new Reddit share some backend infrastructure, but the old interface is simpler and may remain functional during partial outages. It's worth trying if the main site is having issues, though a full backend outage will affect both.
Are Reddit's API and third-party apps affected by outages?
Yes, Reddit's API typically goes down along with the main site since they share the same infrastructure. Third-party Reddit clients, bots, and apps that rely on the API will also stop functioning during an outage.

How we measure this

  • We request Reddit's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 17 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Reddit publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
