Reddit, the popular social media platform, is currently facing an outage that has left countless users in the dark, unable to access both its website and app. The issue has prompted Reddit to launch an investigation to determine the cause of the disruption, as indicated on their status page.
Users attempting to visit Reddit’s homepage have been met with a frustrating black screen and a grim message: “Upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. Reset reason: connection failure.” On the iOS app, users are greeted by nothing more than the lifeless image of Snoo, Reddit’s beloved alien mascot, staring back at them.
This outage, which began around 12:20 p.m. PT, has affected a significant number of individuals, with over 47,000 users flooding Downdetector.com with reports of their struggles. Many disgruntled users have also turned to Twitter to express their frustration, sharing screenshots of the connection error page in hopes of finding solace in shared experiences.
Efforts are being made by Reddit to restore normalcy, and updates are expected once the issue is resolved. In the meantime, users are eagerly awaiting the platform’s return, hoping to resume their daily browsing and community interactions. Stay tuned for developments as they unfold.
