Reddit current status, explained

At the moment,Ā Reddit is up and running, but some previous problems affected its performance. The Reddit Status page confirms that the team has investigated these issues and deployed a fix. However, errors can still persist, so keep that in mind when loading up the network.

I previously encountered an error message upon logging in that stated, “Oops, something went wrong, please try again later.” This is a common issue that many users have also experienced, often accompanied by a Reddit 502 bad gateway error.

Both errors are linked to this server issue, so if they ever appear again, they’ll need a new update.Ā The site has also received several other patches, including fixes for degraded performances and increased error rates.Ā 

How to check Reddit server status

If you want to stay up-to-date on Reddit’s current status, follow the Reddit Status page for the most recent problems and information on fixes. The channel is fairly consistent with news reports and often provides solutions in a timely manner. 

You can also check Reddit DownDetector for the latest news from other users. Any time there’s a high surge in reports, it’s best to wait it out until an update has been implemented.
