Reddit ran into some problems on Thursday.

A Reddit outage started roughly between 3 and 4 p.m. ET on Thursday and is currently ongoing at the time of publication. Tens of thousands of users reported the outage on Down Detector (Note: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector), and this reporter can personally confirm the outage. Reddit is not working for me on either a web browser or the mobile app at the time of writing.

The outage occurred around the same time as a similar outage on X, though that one appears to have been fixed already.
