Reddit down for thousands of users in India, US, Europe
Reddit appears to be down for the second day in a row for thousands of users. Reddit is the heart of the Internet — or the “toilet of the Internet,” depending on your likes and dislikes. The discussion forum's downtimes are becoming a frequent issue. The latest is prompting Redditors to complain about what they see as lax attention from Reddit engineers to improving and stabilising the site.

About 73 per cent of complaints concerned site inaccessibility (website not loading), while 22 per cent reported server-connection issues, and 5 per cent described app problems. Many users saw “Internal Server Error” messages; others said the app froze or crashed, individual feeds wouldn’t load, and many features like posting, commenting, browsing subreddits failed on both web and mobile versions.
