Reddit is back online after a brief outage
Reddit experienced a widespread outage that impacting the entire site and subreddits earlier today. Millions of Reddit users were met with a “Server error. Try again later” message in a red banner at the top of the site for around 45 minutes today. The same outage error was displayed on subreddits and individual posts, too.
The status page for Reddit initially indicated the site was experiencing “degraded performance” at 4:16PM ET, before identifying the issue just minutes later and then implementing a fix at 4:45PM ET. “A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results,” says Reddit.
This latest outage follows similar issues with Reddit in April, where users were met with the same “try again later” message after a back-end issue knocked Reddit completely offline. In recent months, Reddit has been fighting AI bots and striking deals with OpenAI, and the internet’s forum even went public with an initial $6.5 billion valuation.
Update, August 28th: Reddit is now back online after a 45-minute outage.
