On mobile I’m getting…lol

Yep same here, quite amusing…

[theEntroX]

New reddit just gives me a `Oops, something went wrong, please try again later.` error. Old reddit gives a 502 error. Status page claims all systems are OK (they are not)

[RetpolineDrama → theEntroX]

>Status page claims all systems are OK (they are not)

Classic

[theEntroX → RetpolineDrama]

Now they are showing this!

[WackyWeasel → theEntroX]

"many users" :-)

[Sakos → WackyWeasel]

Better than the notice for the previous outage which said "Degraded performance" even though the site was inaccessible for a lot of people.

[romphl → RetpolineDrama]

Seriously, I've stopped checking all these 'official' status pages and just check Twitter or HN for an accurate status.

[camdenreslink → romphl]

I think for big corporations that the flip doesn’t switch on the status page until it is approved by legal and they get a “comms” message prepared. It isn’t as automatic as we’d like to think.

[jgwil2 → theEntroX]

I'm currently just getting a cached page from ~40 minutes ago on old reddit (not logged in).

[noashavit → theEntroX]

same here!

Looks like you can get a bit of a Node stack trace on mobile

[bytepursuits → DishyDev]

reddit keep insisting this is frontend error. lmao. smh https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1ccxbrm/reddit_went...

[thrdbndndn]

Speak of which, reddit has become very slow at roughly this time every day for me for at least weeks.

Did anyone encounter this too?

[pds6502 → thrdbndndn]

I have noticed it become increasingly more lethargic over only the last two weeks, almost to the point of how slow is linkedin. I attributed it only to excessive client-side script they push into my old and unpowerful device. Now, with this event and discussion here, I believe it's indication of some bigger change or effect.

[candogteeth → thrdbndndn]

Yes I have also found it to be slow and when uploading a video upon playback there is no audio. This problem only started within the last few days. I hope they get it fixed soon.

It is back up but now I can't post any pictures, there is bugs with the fix.

[morkalork → thrdbndndn]

You mean around noon to 1pm on the east coast? It shouldn't be that mysterious for why.

[daedrdev → thrdbndndn]

It actually was down around this time for a different reason a few days ago

[Sauorcinus → thrdbndndn]

I thought it was only me, I wanted to check my notifications !!

[MilnerRoute]

Reddit had just announced they were launching new AI-powered ad tech.

The bots are on strike for greater autonomy.

got that error too. anyone knows what’s up with reddit?

[dvaun]

https://old.reddit.com/ is returning fine for me.

Accessing the www is dumping an exception message and short stacktrace.

[computerex → dvaun]

This is also returning 502 for me.

[dvaun → computerex]

Maybe something upstream from the edge is failing in some region while others haven’t failed. My hunch is some service related to a user_id (from the exception I’m seeing) is failed in one cloud region it’s running from.

Not familiar with Reddit as I haven’t worked there.

[ChrisArchitect]

Probably merge / update link to status page

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40160193

[sp332]

Keep an eye on https://www.redditstatus.com/

[patja → sp332]

Feels a little odd they describe it there as just a problem affecting many frontends. Is www/browsers considered just another frontend, not something essential to use the service for most users?

[deadcoder0904]

same i was replying to https://old.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1cby14y/find_existing... & it went down fast.

[minimaxir]

Reddit has been down atleast once every day over the past week or so and it's getting annoying.

[dragosion]

Have screenshots. user_id missing in monolith index.cjs application....

[theanonymousone]

It shows, interestingly, a ClojureScript error for me.

[ChrisArchitect]

Not just 'old.', main reddit domain too

[Taezshui666]

Dang the error is quite creepy tho =))

[knks → Taezshui666]

nah, it's just a stack trace. looks like they messed up error handling, most probably with some A/B testing related thing. surprising at this scale.

[Taezshui666 → knks]

I still think that reddit was hijacked, it looks something like easter egg or BSOF but the glitch might related to Nginx right?

[distrill]

it just seems to be old.reddit, maybe this is how they're deprecating it

[deadcoder0904 → distrill]

no, check https://reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1cby14y/find_existing_sta... isnt working either

[joshlemer → distrill]

Nah, new.reddit is down too for me

[knks → distrill]

it's js code, can't be that old, based on the trace it could be some new code written as a wrapper around apis from a messy monolith.

[elijaht → distrill]

Old.reddit is the only thing working for me

[yinser]

Another win for old.reddit
