Wait… Is Reddit Down Again?!
If you just tried opening Reddit and got hit with an error message, don’t worry—it’s not just you! Thousands of users across the U.S. are experiencing the same issue right now. Whether you’re trying to scroll through r/memes, check the latest news, or just kill some time, you’re probably wondering: What’s going on with Reddit?
What’s Happening With Reddit?
Reports of Reddit being down started coming in around 7:05 PM ET on March 27, 2025. According to Downdetector, thousands of users began experiencing issues all at once, with most people seeing “internal server error” messages or Reddit just refusing to load.
Here’s a breakdown of how users are being affected:
61% are having issues with the Reddit app
38% are struggling with the website
How Bad Is the Reddit Outage?
This isn’t just a small glitch—it’s affecting users all over the U.S., with major outages reported in:
- New York
- Los Angeles
- Chicago
- Houston
- Miami
Basically, if you’re in the U.S., there’s a good chance you’re affected. And, of course, as soon as Reddit went down, people immediately flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm:
“Is Reddit down for everyone, or is it just my WiFi acting up again?”
Is This Another Big Reddit Crash?
Unfortunately, yes—Reddit has had a few big outages over the past year, and this one seems just as bad. The company hasn’t officially said what caused it yet, but based on past issues, it could be:
Server overload (too many people online at once)
A system update gone wrong
A possible cyberattack (but let’s not panic just yet)
Are Other Platforms Down Too?
Funny enough, X (Twitter) is also having issues at the same time. Some users are reporting problems with:
Posts not loading
Unable to tweet
DMs not working
This has led to wild speculation—could both platforms be under attack? Is this a major internet issue? Or is this just a weird coincidence? We don’t know yet, but it definitely feels suspicious.
What Is Reddit Saying About This?
Reddit’s official status page now says everything is back to normal, but many users are still having trouble. While we wait for an official update, here are a few things you can try to fix it:
- Refresh the page or restart the app
- Clear your browser cache
- Try using a different device or WiFi network
- Wait it out—these things usually fix themselves in a few hours
So, When Will Reddit Be Back?
If history repeats itself, Reddit should be back up within a few hours. In the meantime, maybe this is a sign to take a break from doomscrolling? Go outside, touch some grass… or, you know, just wait impatiently and keep refreshing.
We’ll keep updating this article as more details come in. If Reddit is still down for you, let us know in the comments!
