Reddit faced major outage issues. The link sharing giant blocked users worldwide from accessing the social network's website and mobile apps.
A little after 3 pm ET, Reddit began investigating the outage, and now the site is back up.
Users that visited the website during the outage saw “Our CDN was unable to reach our servers" and "All of our servers are busy right now. Please try again in a minute." errors.
More than 60,000 people reported issues on Downdetector during the peak of the problem. As the outage went on, the volume of reports appeared to drop, but that might just be due to fewer people actively reporting issues.
