Reddit is down - website crashes for frustrated users across the UK and US

It's one of the most popular social news website, but it seems that Reddit has crashed this afternoon.

According to Down Detector, the issues started at around 13:38 GMT, and are affecting users across the UK and US.

While the reason for the outage remains unclear, of those who reported issues, 94% couldn’t reach the website, 3% were having problems with the app, and 1% couldn’t log-in.

Mirror Online tried to access the Reddit website, and received a 504 Gateway Time-out error message.

Reddit is yet to comment on the outage, although frustrated users have taken to Twitter to discuss their frustrations.

One user said: “So Reddit is down…now what do I do?”

And one joked: “Reddit is down. That means Instagram and Twitter won't have funny memes two or three days from now.”

Meanwhile, other users have been able to access the site by using the old Reddit link - https://old.reddit.com/.

Mirror Online has contacted Reddit for comment.
