Questions
Is Reddit down right now?
Reddit’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.
When was Reddit last down?
The most recent incident Reddit reported was “Mods Unable to Approve Content”, 26 days ago (2026-09-23 00:23 UTC). None of its incidents in the last 90 days were a full outage.
Which parts of Reddit are tracked here?
Reddit reports 10 components on its status page, including Desktop Web, Reddit Ads, Reddit Infrastructure, Mobile Web, Reddit Media Storage. Each is checked again whenever this page refreshes.
What should I do if Reddit is down?
Wait a few minutes and reload, try the mobile app or another network, and avoid posting the same content repeatedly.
Reddit loads but votes and comments won't go through?
Read and write paths are separate components — 'Vote Processing', 'Comment Processing' and 'Spam Processing' are tracked individually, so browsing can work while actions fail or lag.
The app fails but old.reddit.com works?
Possible — 'Native Mobile Apps', 'Desktop Web' and 'Mobile Web' are separate components. During an app-side incident, the mobile web version is the usual fallback.
How do I tell if Reddit is down for everyone or only for me?
If the status above is operational but Reddit still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.
How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?
OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
