Is Reddit down?

What to do when Reddit is down

Stop working your accounts. Posting, commenting, or voting while Reddit is glitching is one of the fastest ways to get shadowbanned — your actions fail silently, you retry, and Reddit’s spam filters flag the repeated attempts. Wait until Reddit is fully back and stable before you resume. Refresh this page before a session: if reports are spiking, take the break — your accounts will thank you.

Reddit status — FAQ

Is Reddit down right now?

This page shows Reddit’s live status based on real user outage reports over the last 24 hours. If the report count spikes well above the typical baseline, Reddit is likely having problems.

Why does Reddit look up for me but down for others?

Outages are often partial — tied to a region, a specific app, or a subset of servers. Reddit can work for you while others cannot reach it. That’s why crowd-sourced reports are more useful than a single check.

What should I do when Reddit is down?

Stop working your accounts until it’s stable. Acting during an outage — posting, commenting, voting — often fails silently and makes you retry, and that repeated activity is a classic shadowban trigger. Wait for Reddit to fully recover before resuming.

How do you measure Reddit’s status?

We aggregate live user outage reports together with our own visitor reports into a 24-hour chart, so you see problems as real users experience them rather than waiting for an official status page to update.
