Reddit itself is having issues. I have multiple comments fail to post. And the Reddit user page leads me to a 404.
Yeah, Reddit has been half-working all morning. Last time this happened I had an account get permabanned because the JavaScript on the page got stuck in a no-backoff retry loop and it banned me for "spamming." Just now it put me in rate limit jail for trying to open my profile one time, so I've closed out all my tabs.
Try lemmy, it's currently in the front page, albeit on a meme sub
Anecdotally, I think you should disregard this. I found out about this issue first via Reddit, roughly 30 minutes after the onset (we had an alarm about control plane connectivity).
Most Reddit API is down as well.
For me, Reddit fails to load. Gives some "upstream connection error"
I found it pretty fast on the /r/signal sub and went from there.
Reddit is worthless now, and posting about your tech infrastructure on reddit is a security and opsec lapse. My workplace has reddit blocked at the edge. I would trust X more than reddit, and that is with X having active honeypot accounts (it is even a meme about Asian girls).
In fact, heard about this outage on X before anywhere else.
I think I might be ready to build out a replacement through vibe coding. I don’t like being dependent on user submissions though. I feel like that’s a challenge on its own.
