Reddit Down: Community Site Experiencing Widespread Errors
Reddit Down: Community Site Experiencing Widespread Errors
Reddit encountered widespread technical problems that made the popular discussion site inaccessible for many users.

Oh no!
âŚanyway.
Exactly my thoughts.
lemmy.world crashing in 3, 2....
Wouldn't it be funny if the AI reading reddit ended up trained on error messages?
Even funnier if it turns out the AI "learning" caused a DDOS attack.
Reddit's AI has a transcendental moment of clarity and puts itself in a DDOS loop.
I just googled your symptoms and it says you have network connectivity problems.
Would it produce better or worse output compared to training on the AI that writes reddit?
It's been broken since the 3rd party apps debacle. Thanks for fucking up the site out of pure greed, you self righteous cunts. If Swartz were alive today, he'd kill himself again over what they did to reddit.
Itâs been broken since the 3rd party apps debacle.
Oh, reddit had these technical issues long before that. I remember regular downtimes. It's just in the past we had 3rd party apps and their web app wasn't as bloated as it is today, so at least reddit had good UX/aesthetics.
But now both sides are ugly.
I mean, it was indeed a hot mess in many ways, but it was also a mostly functioning online community. So functional it became a great source for information and individual opinions on just about anything.
It could have been preserved and profited from with little effort, but some suits saw a bigger payday opportunity and tried to wring it dry, accidentally squeezed too hard, and drove a wedge into the community.
Reddit is the new Digg and Lemmy is the new reddit, which means we will one day be the new Digg đ¨
Better ditch Lemmy and start your own app now to stay ahead of the curve
Lemmy in NOT the new reddit. It has nowhere near the traffic or niche communities that reddit does. We are our own little community of defectors, but Lemmy is currently not reddit and I have my doubts it will pick up in traffic ever. Which is ok too, I guess.
Lemmy has it's start by being that upstart anti-reddit competitor. ...Just like Reddit was back when Digg dominated the web.
Give it time; it seems Spez didn't learn his lessons from how reddit ended up dominating over Digg.
Just destroy the internet and/or the planet when Lemmy becomes reddit and the changeover will never happen.
At the current rate, lemmy just might out live the planet.
I mean, I'm on my third instance because the other two went away so it's not like we have zero problems here. Gloating can be dangerous.
At least here we have that option!
And cheers to that!
Given your track record, you should make an account on Hexbear next
Oh no, how will the bots function without reddit? Where are the outrage trolls going to scream into the void?
Oh well, not my dumpster fire, not my problem. It is quite funny though.
Damnit, itâs back. It was good while it lasted.
I guess they replaced their backend potato.
Soon lemmy.ml will spike again during this outage
Join the Lemmy promise land redditors!
I wish that shitty legacy site would go down for good.
Reddit, about yesterday, started to implement a change....
They have the old Reddit interface and then the one that replaced it ("new Reddit") and the current interface you see on Reddit replaced that. People don't like the most recent interface iteration but had the option to go to "new Reddit" or "old Reddit" by vising the appropriate links.
Notably, each newer interface seems to be more stressful for the servers to run. Still, likely a decent amount of folks don't like the newest interface so likely the load balances out.
Yesterday though, they "pulled the lever" and "new Reddit" is no more. (This was announced about a month ago at this link but they only got around to doing it yesterday.) Those people trying to access "new Reddit" are redirected to the latest interface. You have the option to use the oldest Reddit interface or the newest one but not the "new Reddit" one. Since the latest interface seemed to use the most server resources before, it is interesting how Reddit seemed to have their severs overloaded a bit when they made the switchover.
On Reddit, people have been upset in /r/help that this has happened but Reddit will likely continue on with this change anyway. Old Reddit will continue to be supported (at least for now anyway).
Pardon my lack of concern
Channeling FlyingSquid, wherever they are at the moment.
Lemmy jamminâ on đđźđ
