Reddit down for everyone or just you?

This page checks Reddit's public web endpoint from our cloud servers. If we show it UP but it fails for you, the problem is usually on your side of the internet: your DNS resolver, ISP routing, a VPN, or a regional outage. Try another network (e.g. switch off Wi-Fi to mobile data) and check your DNS records.

If we show it DOWN, the outage is likely on Reddit's side — large services usually recover within minutes to hours. Note: for app-based services, the app backend can differ from the website we probe.

Reddit not working? Troubleshooting steps

  1. Confirm the outage side: if this page shows Reddit UP, the issue is local — restart the app or hard-refresh the site (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R).
  2. Switch networks: Wi-Fi to mobile data (or the reverse). ISP-level routing issues are common and self-resolve.
  3. Change DNS resolver to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 and flush the DNS cache.
  4. Disable VPN or proxy — regional blocks and VPN endpoints cause false "down" experiences.
  5. If we show DOWN: wait it out. Large services usually recover in minutes to a few hours; repeated refreshing does not help.

Frequently asked questions

Is Reddit down right now?

Short answer: as of our latest live check, Reddit appears UP — its web endpoint responded normally. This page rechecks at most every 60 seconds.

Is Reddit down for everyone or just me?

Short answer: if this page shows Reddit UP but it fails for you, the problem is on your side — DNS resolver, ISP routing, or VPN. Try another network first.

Why is Reddit not working for me?

Short answer: most single-user failures are local: stale DNS cache, Wi-Fi issues, VPN endpoints, or an outdated app. Follow the troubleshooting steps above in order.

How often does PingDeck check Reddit?

Short answer: on demand with a 60-second cache — every visit within a minute reuses the freshest result, and history is stored for the uptime statistics on this page.

Is the Reddit app different from the website?

Short answer: sometimes. We probe the public web endpoint; a mobile app can use different backend services, so the app can fail while the website is fine (and vice versa).

What does the uptime percentage on this page mean?

Short answer: the share of our stored checks (up to 90 days) where Reddit responded successfully. It reflects reachability of the public endpoint we probe, not every internal Reddit component.

How long do Reddit outages usually last?

Short answer: most large-service incidents resolve within minutes to a few hours. Ongoing incidents appear in the incident table above with start time and duration.

Can I get alerted about downtime automatically?

Short answer: yes — PingDeck monitors any site 24/7 with alerts to Discord, Slack, or any webhook. The free plan covers 5 monitors at https://getpingdeck.com/app
