"An update we made caused some instability. We reverted and are seeing Reddit ramp back up," a Reddit spokesperson told TechCrunch. This highlights the direct impact of software updates on platform reliability.
Users reported issues on Thursday, especially between approximately 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., when Downdetector received tens of thousands of reports with an almost even mix of website and app connection issues.
Naturally, people flocked to X to see what was wrong with Reddit, indicating the platform's heavy reliance on social media for user updates during outages.
On Wednesday, users reported a mass Reddit outage affecting millions of users. Reddit confirmed the issue on social media and blamed it on a 'bug in a recent update.'
