As is usually the case, people on other social media platforms are enjoying a little schadenfreude over Reddit’s ongoing problems.

While the function for adding a new Reddit post appears, the system is still reporting multiple errors, and ultimately nothing gets posted. Guess all those anxious Reddit users will have to head over to Discord to post updates.
As of 4:36PM ET, Reddit’s homepage was failing again. Clearly, the issue, whatever it is, is significant enough that Reddit’s developers are likely playing a game of whackamole with critical failures.
While the Reddit homepage appears to be sort of functional, Reddit’s own status checker is reporting degraded performance for most of its services. No word, yet, on what’s causing the issues. and, yes, “popular” remains offline.
Today, perhaps coincidentally, was also the day of US News Anchor Katie Couric’s first-ever Reddit AMA. It launched at 2PM ET, though we’re not pointing any fingers.

On the bright side, you can still peruse some of Reddit’s homepage.
Some pages, like the all-important Popular, remain blank.
Reddit appeared to be recovering by 4:13PM but the instability remains.
