It’s not just you, Reddit is down

Social media platform Reddit is experiencing an outage this afternoon, resulting in thousands of users being unable to access its website and app. Reddit confirmed that it’s currently investigating the issue, according to its status page . We discovered the outage ourselves when attempting to visit the homepage, which displayed a black screen with the message: “Upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers.

Reset reason: connection failure.” On the iOS app, we only saw the dead Snoo head, Reddit’s alien mascot. The outage has been ongoing since at least 12:20 p.



m. PT, with over 47,000 users reporting problems on Downdetector.com .

Many users have also taken to X to voice their complaints, sharing images of the same connection error page that we encountered. TechCrunch has reached out to the company for comment and will provide updates once the issue is resolved..
