Overview
- Reddit suffered a widespread outage Monday that broke image and video loading across both the mobile app and desktop site.
- Reports on Downdetector surged to about 9,300 at the peak before easing, with many users citing problems on the legacy “Old Reddit” interface.
- Reddit’s status page said engineers identified the issue and began implementing a fix, and users should expect errors, slow feeds, and missing new media during the rollout.
- Many people encountered blank pages, sluggish comments, and feeds that stopped after a handful of recent posts, leading some to vent on X.
- Downdetector logs user complaints rather than causes, and there is no confirmed link to an external provider like Microsoft Azure.
