Reddit experienced an outage that lasted half an hour this afternoon, with the site displaying a blank homepage and error messages when attempting to access specific subreddits. However, by 4:45PM ET, subreddits and comments began loading as usual. The Reddit status update page confirmed the issue as “Degraded Performance for reddit.com,” with updates on the fix being implemented. Despite the ongoing performance label as “Degraded,” jokes on social media started rolling in. Notably, a high-profile deal between Reddit and Google for AI training was mentioned, highlighting the site’s influence on search results. With previous outages in mind, this latest incident has been closely monitored for updates as Reddit resolves the issue.
