As per Downdetector data, 64 percent of the complaints came from users facing issues with the Reddit mobile app, while 29 percent reported that the website was either slow or completely inaccessible. Around 7 percent of users experienced server connection failures, preventing them from logging in or loading posts.
Many users took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the outage, reporting that their Reddit feeds failed to refresh, comment sections were not loading, and posts appeared blank. Some also saw error notifications like “Service unavailable” or “Try again later.”
