BREAKING NEWS Now Reddit goes DOWN! Tens of thousands of users report loading issues - days after LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and other sites were hit by major outages

Reddit users reported the site is down as at about 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, with more than 20,000 people reporting they couldn't access the app.

 

In a post on X, Reddit said it's investigating the issue that is causing 'intermittent issues and slow loads for users.'

 

Although the outage is affecting countries around the world including Germany, the United Kingdom, and Canada, the majority of issues were reported in the U.S.

 

This is the second issue Reddit is investigating on the same day, with users reporting the app was loading slow and said they were experiencing 'intermittent failures' at 11 a.m. EST.

 

Reddit said on X that it had reportedly fixed the issue less than an hour later.

 

DownDetector, which monitors online outages, showed tens of thousands of people in the US complained that they experienced issues with the app, but only about 200-300 people in other countries across Europe reported similar problems.

 

Reddit has reported experiencing an elevated number of errors on its site since February 22, with at least three problems occurring since then.

 

The outage comes just before the company plans to take its platform public later this month in an attempt to get more advertisers, since it depends solely on ad sales for revenue.

 

Reddit is seeking to obtain a valuation of up to $6.5 billion and is targeting $31 to $34 per share, according to Business Insider.

 

Other sites have experienced major outages in recent weeks, with Reddit's system issues occurring just two days after Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger crashed and less than 24 hours after LinkedIn went down.

 

AT&T likewise experienced a roughly six-hour outage on February 22, as Americans question the reliability of U.S. servers.
