What happens when Reddit goes down?

How do I troubleshoot Reddit issues?

1
Refresh and clear cache
Clear your browser cache or app data and try refreshing. Sometimes cached data causes loading issues.
2
Try old.reddit.com
The legacy Reddit interface often stays available when the redesigned version is experiencing issues.
3
Check on multiple devices
Test Reddit on your phone, desktop, or another browser to rule out device-specific problems.
4
Disable browser extensions
Ad blockers, RES, or other Reddit extensions can sometimes conflict and prevent loading. Try disabling them temporarily.
5
Use a third-party Reddit app
Apps like Apollo (iOS) or Relay (Android) may work when the official app or website is down.

Frequently asked questions about Reddit status

Is Reddit down right now?

Check redditstatus.com and API Status Check, which links the official status page alongside community outage reports. If both show incidents, Reddit is likely down for many users.

Why does Reddit say 'Sorry, we couldn't load posts'?

This error usually indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, using old.reddit.com, or waiting a few minutes during peak traffic.

Why can't I access specific subreddits?

Individual subreddits may be private, banned, or restricted. If Reddit is functioning but specific subs won't load, they may be set to private by moderators.

Why is Reddit so slow today?

Slowness often indicates degraded performance. Try using old.reddit.com which has lower resource requirements, or wait for the incident to resolve.

Does Reddit Premium help with outages?

No, Reddit Premium doesn't provide better uptime or priority access during outages. All users are equally affected.

How can I get Reddit outage alerts?
