Is Reddit down?

The site is functioning normally at this moment, but many Reddit users were inquiring about this on Tuesday, Jan. 13, when the well-known online discussion platform seemed to experience a temporary outage. As per Downdetector, issues began around 11:33 a.m. ET, with tens of thousands of Downdetector users indicating difficulties in accessing the Reddit website and app. (Disclosure: Mashable and Downdetector are both under the ownership of Ziff Davis.)

At the height of the outage, Downdetector recorded 89,943 user error reports.

“Reddit is presently encountering a major internal outage leading to extensive service interruptions,” states a Downdetector summary (emphasis in original). “The severity is assessed as Very High, mainly impacting mobile app access (55%) and website connectivity (39%).”

Once more, as of this moment, Reddit’s website and app seem to be entirely operational.
