Reddit
experienced
a
widespread
outage
that
impacting
the
entire
site
and
subreddits
earlier
today.
Millions
of
Reddit
users
were
met
with
a
“Server
error.
Try
again
later”
message
in
a
red
banner
at
the
top
of
the
site
for
around
45
minutes
today.
The
same
outage
error
was
displayed
on
subreddits
and
individual
posts,
too.
The
status
page
for
Reddit
initially
indicated
the
site
was
experiencing
“degraded
performance”
at
4:16PM
ET,
before
identifying
the
issue
just
minutes
later
and
then
implementing
a
fix
at
4:45PM
ET.
“A
fix
has
been
implemented
and
we
are
monitoring
the
results,”
says
Reddit.
This
latest
outage
follows
similar
issues
with
Reddit
in
April,
where
users
were
met
with
the
same
“try
again
later”
message
after
a
back-end
issue
knocked
Reddit
completely
offline.
In
recent
months,
Reddit
has
been
fighting
AI
bots
and
striking
deals
with
OpenAI,

the
internet’s
forum

went
public
with
an
initial
$6.5
billion
valuation.
Update,
August
28th:
Reddit
is
now
back
online
after
a
45-minute
outage.
