Troubleshooting tips for Reddit
If our monitor reports Reddit is up but you still can't reach it, try these steps in order:
Hard-refresh your browser
- Press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to bypass the cache.
- If that fails, open the page in an incognito / private window.
Clear cookies and cache
- Open your browser settings → Privacy / History.
- Clear cookies and cached files for the last hour, then reload.
Flush your DNS
- Windows: open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns.
- macOS: open Terminal and run sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder.
- Linux: run sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches (or systemctl restart nscd).
Restart your router
- Unplug the router and modem for 30 seconds.
- Plug them back in and wait until all lights are stable, then retry.
Try a different DNS or VPN
- Switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google).
- Use a reputable VPN to test from a different country — useful when the site may be region-blocked.
What usually breaks on Reddit
Reddit is a network of user-run communities covering almost every topic, and one of the most-visited sites in the world. Because so much of it is served from cache, Reddit often fails in halves — the front page loads while comment threads, voting or logins do not.
Feeds load but comments fail
A very common Reddit failure: post listings come from cache while the comment service is degraded. If posts open but comments spin forever, it is Reddit, not you.
Old vs new Reddit behave differently
old.reddit.com and www.reddit.com run on different front-ends. When one is broken the other often still works, so it is worth trying old.reddit.com before assuming a full outage.
Third-party apps break separately
Apps built on Reddit's API can fail while the website is completely fine. If only your app is broken, check whether the API is the problem rather than the site.
