Social media platform Reddit is experiencing an outage this afternoon, meaning thousands of users no longer have access to the website and app. Reddit confirmed that it is currently investigating the issue, according to its status page.

We discovered the glitch ourselves when we tried to visit the homepage, which showed a black screen with the message: “Upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. Reset reason: connection error.” On the iOS app we only saw the dead Snoo head, Reddit’s alien mascot.

The outage has been going on since at least 12:20 PM PT, with more than 47,000 users reporting issues on Downdetector.com. Many users have also taken to X to voice their complaints, sharing images of the same connection error page we encountered.

TechCrunch has reached out to the company for comment and will provide updates once the issue is resolved.
