Update: At 4:35 pm PT, Reddit announced that a fix has been deployed and developers are “monitoring the results.” For now, the site is back online, but it’s possible that errors or other issues may sporadically occur. The nature of the problem has not yet been disclosed. Reddit’s current status can be seen at redditstatus.com.

No, it’s not your imagination: Reddit is down. A cause for the outage hasn’t been announced at this point, but the powers that be are currently “investigating the issue.”

Attempts to reach Reddit are currently being met with a bit of alarming text: “upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure.”

The problem is also clearly visible through DownDetector:

Investigating: We are currently investigating this issue. https://t.co/PLSwLrcuYdNovember 20, 2024

We’ll keep an eye on things and update when more information is available.
