Update, 1:33 p.m.ET: Reddit says on its status page that a fix for the problem has been deployed and the site should be coming back up for everyone.
It’s
not
just
you.
Reddit
is
suffering
an
outage
that’s
impacting
tens
of
thousands
of
people,
according
to
Down
Detector
Thursday.
And
it’s
not
clear
when
the
site
may
return.
“An issue with a Reddit backend has impacted many users on our site. We are looking into the cause,” Reddit’s status page first posted, acknowledging the outage.
The major issue seems to have started around 12:40 p.m. ET. Anyone who visits Reddit on the web right now is seeing a message that reads, “Oops, something went wrong, please try again later.”

Interestingly,
the
Reddit
status
page
also
notes
there
was
an
issue
about
an
hour
earlier
that
has
already
been
resolved.
It’s
unclear
what
issue
may
have
prompted
that
status
update.
As often happens on the internet, Reddit users took to other social platforms to joke about how they can’t reach their favorite site right now.
