As Reddit appears to be coming back online for some users, the cause of the outage remains a big question mark. We’ve reached out to Reddit for more information, and will update once we hear back. Back in November, when Reddit saw its last major outage, the issue was attributed to a “bug in a recent update” to the platform.

Down Detector has steeply declined to just under 1,300 reports.

2025-04-21T16:20:06.700ZThe outage reports on DownDetector have dropped significantly since Reddit issued a statement saying it had implemented a fix. Reports were hovering around 100,000 but have dropped to just over 2,000 shortly after 12 p.m. ET on Monday.

Hopefully some good news may be on the way soon. Reddit posted to its status page at 9:10 a.m. PDT (12:10 p.m. ET) that a “fix has been implemented” for the “elevated errors” the platform identified early Monday morning across its site and app.

2025-04-21T16:06:01.030ZReddit’s not the only one having issues this Easter Monday. Crowdstrike, which offers cloud-based security solutions to businesses, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the e-commerce giant’s cloud-computing platform, are also seeing reports of outages on DownDetector, though they number in the hundreds rather than the thousands.

Having trouble accessing the Reddit app? You’re not alone. Thousands of users are reporting having issues accessing the popular forum site, and there’s no telling when it’ll come back up at this time.
