Reddit says it has \u201crestored services\u201d after a major outage that, depending on the situation, stopped posts and comments from loading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I had observed a few different issues. When logged out, I couldn\u2019t see any posts or comments at all; I would just get an error message or a blank page under the Reddit search bar. When logged in on an account that\u2019s not<\/em> on the old Reddit layout, posts loaded on the homepage, but when I clicked into a post from the homepage, comments didn\u2019t. (When using that account, posts wouldn\u2019t load in specific subreddits, either.) Weirdly, on my account that uses the old Reddit layout on my desktop browser, I was able to browse the platform just fine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Reddit confirmed there was an issue in a post at 12:47PM ET. \u201cWe\u2019re investigating an issue that\u2019s left many of our web and mobile platforms unavailable,\u201d the company wrote on its status website<\/a>. \u201cResponders are working to restore service.\u201d At 1:22PM ET, the company said that it had \u201cidentified the issue and we\u2019re bringing services back online.\u201d Things began to recover quickly; soon after I first published this post, things started to improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n At 2:17PM ET, Reddit said that things were largely fixed. \u201cWe\u2019ve restored services to users and will be taking steps to ensure a full, sustained recovery.\u201d The company didn\u2019t immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
