Reddit down: Site not working as visitors see array of error messages

Reddit is down in a major outage.

Visitors to the forum instead saw an array of messages that indicated there was a technical problem.

The issues appeared to apply only to the web version. Reddit is still accessible through its official app. Even on the web, the issue appeared sporadic, and opening the site without being logged in might force it to work.

Reddit said that it was aware of the problem, in an update posted to its official status page.

“We are currently experience a performance degradation of our service. We are working to fix the problem,” it said.
