A system issue took Reddit offline for multiple hours on Tuesday, but it has since been restored.
By 3:18 p.m., Reddit shared an update on its status page, stating it was offline and the issue was being identified. At 3:56 p.m., the status was updated to share that an internal systems issue was causing the outage, but a fix had not been determined.
Reddit functionality had been restored for some users as of 7:18 p.m., according to another update. It would take time for everything to reach full running capacity, and some users still reported an inability to access the website or app.
