Reddit experienced a significant worldwide outage, with users globally reporting inability to access its website and app. Reports of issues began flooding DownDetector earlier in the evening, with over 1,000 people indicating problems since 9:27 PM.
Users in the US and UK were among those affected, leading to frustration expressed on social media platforms like X. This outage follows recent, separate incidents on January 18 and the preceding day, where users encountered errors related to posting or viewing media with images or videos, and issues with signing up for accounts, both of which were subsequently resolved.
