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.
