Why is Reddit down?
On the Reddit status website, the company indicates an “unresolved incident” taking place on November 20. The company confirms “degraded performance for reddit.com,” which appears to be accurate.
Attempting to visit the Reddit desktop site returns the following error: “upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure.” The mobile app isn’t working either; opening it shows the following message: “Sorry about that. There was an error loading content.”
The reason for the outage is unclear, but what is certain is that things aren’t working.
