Is Reddit down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Reddit right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Reddit continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, feed won't load, search not working, can't post or comment and images not loading. Those are the options the report button offers for Reddit, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Reddit specifically, the feed, comments, media hosting and sign-in are separate, and Reddit serves old.reddit.com, the current site and the app from different front ends. One can be broken while another works, which is why some people see an outage and others do not. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Reddit, try old.reddit.com in a browser. Working there but not on the app or the new site points at that front end rather than Reddit as a whole. Failing everywhere on another network points at them. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Reddit's side. Specifically: do not resubmit a comment or post that appeared to fail. Reddit frequently accepts the write and loses the response, which is exactly how the duplicate comments you see during incidents get created. Check your profile before trying again. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Reddit publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Reddit itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at www.redditstatus.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Reddit's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Reddit or reddit.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Reddit's own support, not us.
