Reddit is DOWN for thousands of users
Reddit is DOWN for thousands of users
Reddit is experiencing a nationwide outage that has taken down the app and website. Thousands of users have reported error messages and comments disappearing from the site.
Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Welcome.
Welcome! Watch out for Hexbear and the .ml instances, lots of disinformation and propaganda
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
And jeans!
Don't forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It's a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
The top two mistakes I ever made on the Fediverse were unknowingly posting in Chapotraphouse in hexbear.net, and similarly in Lemmygrad.ml. Lemmy was practically unusable for me until I realized I could block those instances (and later lemmy.ml), which improved my happiness here by >99%, no joke.
Definitely it's worth paying attention to how instances work.
DRRRRRRRRRRR…
it's a bit messy
From all the users that failed the No Poop Challenge 😔
Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything's fine? What's the point of the status site if it doesn't actually acknowledge that there's any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
I hope reddit dies
All corporate social media needs to die
Nice. ☺️
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
I don't get it either. I know a lot of lemmy users have an axe to grind with reddit, but treating every temporary outage like it's dead forever is just bizarre.
Oh no! Anyways...
Damn it, you beat me to it.
Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.
Wonder if they've decided to finally do away with old reddit?
Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it's worth.
new.reddit.com still works it seems. I think they're going to take Old.Reddit.com offline, the bastards. If they do that, I may end up back here at Lemmy fulltime. I know none of you want that!
Same issue here.
I think it's just a temporary issue, but I really will stop using Reddit if old.reddit.com goes down. There are niches that just aren't on here... but that UI.
Back up now for me, all frontends.
Both don't work for me.
They are going to use the scrapping of old as the reason why. My apps that scrape it are down.
My how I Wish lemmy was better.
Piefed, Sublinks, and Mbin are all coming along.
I personally can't use Reddit, Old Reddit, or RedReader currently.
I normally use Old Reddit and RedReader
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
Think of all the poor bots that can't repost!
In some faraway data center fan noise has reduced somewhat for the duration.
Hang on, I'm 3D printing a tiny violin.
I will lend you this one in the meantime:
Not just the US. Can’t access it from NZ either.
I definitely prefer the vibe of lemmy but there’s still communities I visit on Reddit for reviews and discussions about more niche topics.
Oh no. The poor repost bots 😔
There are a thousand dozen of us!
I'm all for substantial and lulzy schadenfreude, but this is service notification made into a daily mail article, that's when one starts seeming obsessed with a site one doesn't use anymore
To be fair, the day they actually kill old.reddit we can expect an influx of new users here, so it's still good to keep an eye on it
I was wondering why it kept giving me a "you broke reddit" error. Not that Im visiting reddit for funsies, but its where just about every troubleshooting search result takes me, which is frustrating.
It was you!!!!!!
What’s “reddit”?
/s
Too soon...
/s
An enshittified Lemmy alternative.
The bots that are reddit's biggest users can detect downtime in milliseconds.
HAHA
Nice... We welcome all users to the fediverse. Try mbin!
Here is the GitHub page: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin
Well, at least I will just post on lemmy more
Apollo sideloaded stopped working so I’m back to Lemmy. Seems like an API issue.
Again, if reddit keeps malfunctioning, eventually it will lose all its functionality and one day shut down for good.
Ha ha
I read "Reddit is down for thousands of years" and got kinda excited.
old.reddit just loaded for me!

Yup even 3rd party clients are having issues
