The platform acknowledged a "degraded service" affecting both its website and app, stating that it was investigating the matter. Users began facing difficulties around 3 p.m. ET, and by 5:30 p.m., many were still unable to access the site, which displayed a message indicating issues with its content delivery network. In a follow-up statement, Reddit confirmed that a bug from a recent update had caused the outage but assured users that a fix was being implemented.
