If you're having trouble viewing Reddit, you're not alone. Downdetector shows a spike in outages and problems at the site. Reddit acknowledged the problem on Wednesday, saying it's "identified the cause of the issue and [is] working to address it."
Reddit told Engadget that an update was the culprit. "An update we made caused some instability," a company spokesperson said. "We reverted and are seeing Reddit ramp back up."
If you tried to visit Reddit this morning, you likely saw a message reading, "Server error: We have encountered an error. Please try again later." The company's system status page shows a "partial outage" for the desktop web, mobile web and mobile apps. Later (at least for me), pages began to load again but with errors.
