Reddit service status
Open the provider’s incident information and match its component, region and update time to your problem. A status-page headline does not test your individual account.

Understanding Reddit connection and service problems
Reddit feed loading, comments, chat and subreddit permissions may fail separately.
The checker above requests reddit.com from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual Reddit action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Reddit status information and official help
Reddit help and reporting
A subreddit moderation or account restriction is distinct from an infrastructure incident.
Open reddit.com
Compare the website entrypoint with your browser or app. This website link is separate from a provider incident dashboard.
Where to report problems with Reddit
A subreddit moderation or account restriction is distinct from an infrastructure incident.
Open Reddit help / reporting. Use the contact, technical-help or account route described there. Sign-in, support entitlement and available channels can vary; a public community discussion is not a private support ticket.
Details to include in your report
Subreddit/post URL, failed feature, app/version, error and time without private chat content.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to Reddit.
What to check when Reddit is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that Reddit is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare another subreddit and a public post while preserving an unsent comment.
Narrow down the affected service
Check Reddit Status and distinguish a site error from a subreddit restriction or account action; use Reddit Help for the latter.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 or 429 means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if Reddit is down
- Capture the original failure. Save the exact action, error and time before refreshing. Preserve drafts and check whether a submission already completed.
- Run the reddit.com check. Compare each response, the measurement time and available locations. A repeated click can reuse a cached observation.
- Compare the relevant provider information. Open Reddit status and check whether the named service and incident time fit your error.
- Test one useful difference, then report. Compare another permitted session, network or service component using the tailored checks above. Send the result and the actual app error through the reporting route on this page.
If Reddit Is Not Working Only For You, Start Here
Use these local troubleshooting steps after the down-check workflow when Reddit seems broken only for you. This section focuses on app, browser, account, and network fixes.
1. Compare browser sessions
Open reddit.com in your current browser, then test in a private window or second browser. If only one session fails, compare its account, cookie and extension context before assuming the entire service is unavailable.
2. Preserve a working account session
Keep an existing working session and preserve unsaved work. For a sign-in failure, use the official account-help route. Avoid repeated password or security resets until you confirm this is not a broader Reddit issue.
3. Compare permitted network paths
Compare Wi-Fi and mobile data only where you are permitted to do so. Keep required VPN, proxy and security controls in place, and record which network fails.
4. Capture support-ready evidence
Save timestamp, device, network type, exact error, final URL, and status code. Use the check workflow above before contacting Reddit support.
Frequently asked questions about Reddit problems
Is Reddit down, or is the problem limited to one feature?
Run the reddit.com check and compare its original timestamps and responses with your actual error. Reddit feed loading, comments, chat and subreddit permissions may fail separately.
Where can I report a problem with Reddit?
Use the official help/reporting resource linked above. A subreddit moderation or account restriction is distinct from an infrastructure incident.
What should I check first when Reddit is not working?
Compare another subreddit and a public post while preserving an unsent comment. Check Reddit Status and distinguish a site error from a subreddit restriction or account action; use Reddit Help for the latter.
What information helps Reddit support investigate?
Subreddit/post URL, failed feature, app/version, error and time without private chat content.
