Troubleshooting Reddit

  1. Check the official status page (linked above if available).
  2. Try a private/incognito window to rule out cache issues.
  3. Try a different browser or device.
  4. Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) to rule out local network issues.
  5. Disable any VPN or proxy temporarily.
  6. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload.
  7. Wait a few minutes — brief hiccups often resolve on their own.
Why does Reddit go down?

Reddit outages typically affect specific surfaces — vote tallies stop updating, feeds 5xx, or comment threads fail to load — rather than the whole site being unreachable.

Common issues

  • The "There doesn't seem to be anything here" empty-state when feeds time out, especially during traffic spikes.
  • Vote counts and karma updates lagging behind comment posts.
  • Modmail and subreddit moderation tools failing while the public site loads fine.
  • Old Reddit (old.reddit.com) and New Reddit can have asymmetric issues — one may work while the other doesn't.
  • Image and video host (i.redd.it / v.redd.it) hiccups making posts look broken even when the site itself is up.

What you can try

  • Try old.reddit.com if New Reddit is stuck; they're separate frontends and are sometimes affected independently.
  • Reload just the comment section rather than the whole post page — comment loads can fail by themselves.
  • Status: redditstatus.com.
