If you’re having some issues accessing Reddit – either on the web or via the app on Android or iOS – you’re not alone. First spotted by my colleagues in the UK, Reddit is in the midst of an outage, with “Oops” appearing when trying to open the main page of the app. And in the United States, I’m currently seeing “We encountered an error.”
And with th,at spikes on Down Detector, a service that tracks website outages, in the UK and the US are seeing spikes. As of now, it appears that subreddit pages are still losing, but it then displays no posts are available and the main pages are failing to load.

Furthermore, as of a few minutes ago at 11:52 AM ET, Reddit’s status page now indicates that it is “investigating elevated site errors.” We’re kicking off our live reporting tracking Reddit’s outage now, so stick with TechRadar.
Here’s a look at Reddit’s Down Detector page in the United States right now, currently at over 133,00 reported issues.

My colleague Hamish shared these shots of what the Reddit app on Android looks like right now in the UK. It appears that the main home page displays a “Wow, such empty” notice, and that subreddit pages are loading partially.
On the latter, the name and top bar appear, but then no posts are visible.
