About Reddit problems

Reddit problems can show up as a feed or comments that do not load, posts that fail, or sign-in trouble, while the homepage may still answer. Reddit limits automated access through its data API, so scripts and some third-party tools can be blocked while the website itself still works. We have not verified an official Reddit status page, so try another network and a private window first.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Full method and limits

Typical Reddit problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Too many requests A too-many-requests error from Reddit means requests from your connection were limited, which can affect scripts and shared networks, so wait before reloading. Guide: 429 Too Many Requests
  • Access blocked by Reddit If Reddit shows a page saying you have been blocked, a proxy, VPN or automated tool on your connection may be involved, so try a normal connection without them. Guide: 403 Forbidden
  • Feed or comments do not load When Reddit shows a server error or empty feed for everyone, the problem is on Reddit's side, so wait a while before changing settings. Guide: 503 Service Unavailable
  • Sign-in keeps looping If the Reddit login page keeps reloading, clear cookies for reddit.com only and sign in again. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Posting fails If a Reddit post will not submit, check the community's posting rules, since communities can restrict who can post and what can be posted.

General fixes: Social media

  1. Update the app Old app versions can stop loading feeds after the service changes. Install pending updates from your app store first.
  2. Compare the app and the website Open the service in a browser and in the app. If only one fails, the problem is in that app or browser, not in your account.
  3. Wait out action limits If likes, follows or posts are blocked for a while, stop and wait. Repeating the action can keep the limit in place longer.
  4. Check for network filters School, work and public networks may block social media. Test on mobile data to see whether the network is the cause.
