Reddit services were restored after a four-hour outage that left users unable to access the platform
Reddit, a social media platform, encountered a disruption that rendered its website and application inaccessible to thousands of users. It seems to be functioning properly once more after four hours.
According to its status page, Reddit has verified that the issue has been resolved and is currently monitoring the results.
We detected the outage when we attempted to access the homepage. A black screen with “Upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers” was displayed. Reason for reset: connection failure. The iOS application exclusively displayed the deceased Snoo cranium, Reddit’s alien mascot.
Many users took to X to express their complaints, sharing images of the same connection error page we encountered, and over 47,000 users reported problems on Downdetector.com.
