How do I check if Reddit is having issues?

This page checks Reddit availability in real time. You can also monitor Reddit continuously with Visual Sentinel, get instant alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp when Reddit goes down.

How can I get alerted when Reddit goes down?

Set up a free monitor for reddit.com on Visual Sentinel. You will get alerts within 60 seconds via your choice of 10 notification channels including email, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Telegram.

Where is the official Reddit status page?

The official Reddit status page is at https://www.redditstatus.com/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects Reddit issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

Why does old.reddit.com sometimes work when new Reddit is down?

Old Reddit and the redesign share backend services but have different frontend stacks. A frontend-specific issue on new Reddit does not always affect old Reddit. Backend-layer outages affect both.

Does a Reddit outage break RES or Apollo-style apps?

Third-party apps like Apollo were mostly shut down after the 2023 API pricing change. RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) is a browser extension that wraps old Reddit and depends on Reddit being reachable, so yes, any Reddit outage breaks RES functionality.

about this service

About Reddit

Reddit is a global discussion platform organised into subreddits, used by hundreds of millions of users monthly. Outages hit patterns like: the home feed fails to load, individual subreddits return 502s, comment submission loops, voting silently fails, or mobile apps log users out. Moderators of large subreddits lose access to modqueues, and bots that rely on the Reddit API (AutoModerator, toolkit bots) stop running. The API overhaul in 2023 broke many third-party apps and introduced stricter rate limits, so API incidents now have wider downstream impact on the remaining authorised integrations.

The official Reddit status page is at www.redditstatus.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
