Reddit is down with a ‘try again later’ error message

Reddit is experiencing a widespread outage that’s impacting the entire site and subreddits. If you try and visit Reddit right now, you’ll be met with a “Server error. Try again later” message in a red banner at the top of the site. The same outage error can be found on subreddits and individual posts, too.

The status page for Reddit says the site is currently experiencing “degraded performance” and that engineers are “currently investigating this issue.” Reddit went down shortly after 4PM ET, and the latest status update was posted at 4:16PM ET.

This latest outage follows similar issues with Reddit in April, where users were met with the same “try again later” message after a back-end issue knocked Reddit completely offline. In recent months, Reddit has been fighting AI bots and striking deals with OpenAI, and the internet’s forum even went public with an initial $6.5 billion valuation.
